基本説明
This book traces the rise of cyberfiction in the work of key authors in the field, including J. G. Ballard, Philip K. Dick, Samuel Delany, Octavia Butler, and William Gibson, among others.
Full Description
Cyberfiction: After the Future explores a world where cybernetics sets the terms for life and culture - our world of ubiquitous info-tech, instantaneous capital flows, and immanent catastrophe. Economics fuses with technology to create a new kind of speculative fiction: cyberfiction. Paul Youngquist reveals the ways in which J. G. Ballard, Philip K. Dick, Samuel Delany, Octavia Butler, and William Gibson, among others, map a territory where information reigns supreme and the future is becoming a thing of the past.
