Abstract

Are we living in a cyberpunk future? As the calendar ticks onwards it inevitably collides with futures imagined by science-fiction authors. With its focus specifically on the near-future, cyberpunk is the first to be encountered, and on the 9th and 10th of July 2020, the CyberPunk Culture Conference took place in an appropriately digital setting to discuss cyberpunk in all its forms. The event was organised by Dr Lars Schmeink (Hans-Bredow-Institut) to coincide with the larger Cyberpunk Cultures project. The idea for the conference arose from the publication of The Routledge Companion to Cyberpunk Culture, with the intention being to extend the conversation started by the book in active discussion about “living in cyberpunk times”.
