Literary style, which extended to other arts, born of dystopian science fiction, with highly technified societies but with a low quality of life, almost always governed by bureaucratic dictatorships or megacorporations. While it had its heyday in the 1980s and 1990s, there was much antecedents of the style in earlier eras, although with the emergence of computing and data networks it took the form that characterizes it. The name is the Castilianization of the English cyberpunk, which unites cybernetics with punk, not so much for its aesthetics as for its rebellious and countercultural philosophy.
