Text by Nicholas Barlow, Craig Barron, DeForrest Brown Jr., Maya S. Cade, Millie De Chirico, Ashley Clark, Shari Frilot, David A. Kirby, Norman M. Klein, Carlen Lavigne, Akira Mizuta Lippit, K.J. Relth-Miller, Emily Rauber Rodriguez, Patrick B. Sharp. Interview by Nicholas Barlow, Doris Berger.
 A visual exploration of cyberpunk and its global impact and lasting influence on cinema cultureCyberpunk, a subgenre of science fiction, first appeared in the early 1980s and uniquely captured the anxieties of the decade. Featuring near-future scenarios set in worlds that resemble our own, cyberpunk stories juxtapose technological advances with social upheaval, ecological crisis and urban decay. Central to these narratives are antihero characters who fight against corrupt political systems, technology gone haywire and global mega-corporations.
Cyberpunk: Envisioning Possible Futures through Cinema examines the global impact and lasting influence of cyberpunk on cinema culture. Through rarely published behind-the-scenes photographs, film stills and concept art, the book spotlights iconic cyberpunk films such as Blade Runner, Tron and The Matrix; foundational animated features like Akira and Ghost in the Shell; and more recent releases such as Sleep Dealer, Pumzi, Night Raiders and Neptune Frost. More than 20 case studies written by critics, historians and filmmakers offer new perspectives on these films and their legacies. The book also features an in-depth introduction by curator Doris Berger; an essay by communications scholar Carlen Lavigne that discusses the genre’s 20th-century literary origins and the new, global directions it has taken in the 21st century; and an interview with filmmakers Danis Goulet and Wanuri Kahiu that reflects on the interplay among cyberpunk, Afrofuturism and Indigenous futurism.

| | FROM THE ARTBOOK BLOG CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 10/15/2024 “We are living in our imagined future,” Academy Museum curator Doris Berger writes in her Introduction to Cyberpunk: Envisioning Possible Futures through Cinema.
“The current debates about artificial general intelligence and cybersecurity, the fear of sentient machines harming humanity, and the destruction of our environment due to climate change connect our lived reality with cyber¬punk narratives. These bleak scenarios—stable ingredients of futurist cinema since the late 1970s—feel so familiar now, as many of those imaginations have become real. Cyberpunk narratives combine cybernetics and digital culture with a punk attitude. They explore and reflect on topics such as new tech¬nologies, artificial intelligence, transhumanism, cyborgs, hacking culture, capitalism, colonialism, and race, gender, and class relations as well as climate change, often through a defiant approach toward established hierarchies. As these stories present visions of the future on our planet rather than in faraway galaxies, they also comment on our earthly past and present. … As digital media theorist Jason Edward Lewis once stated, “We’re all immigrants in cyberspace.’” Pictured here, Arnold Schwarzenegger and James Cameron during production of The Terminator (1984). continue to blog | FORTHCOMING AND NEW: FILM AND VIDEO BOOKS |  | Set Margins' publicationsISBN: 9789083404134
