Neoliberalism_And_Cyberpunk_Science_Fiction
   Title: Neoliberalism and Cyberpunk Science Fiction: Living on the Edge of Burnout
   Year: 2020
   Category: Other   
   Author: Caroline Alphin   
   Publisher: Routledge   
   Plot:
Comprised of five chapters, Neoliberalism and Cyberpunk Science Fiction is guided by four central themes: biopolitics, intensification, resilience, and accelerationism. The first chapters examine the political possibilities of cyberpunk as a genre of science fiction and introduce one kind of neoliberal subject, the self-monitoring cyborg. These are individuals who join fitness/health tracking devices and applications to their body to "self-cultivate". Here, Alphin presents concrete examples of how fitness trackers are a strategy of neoliberal governmentality under the guise of self-cultivation. Moving away from Foucault's biopolitics to themes of intensity and resilience, Alphin draws largely from William Gibson's Neuromancer, Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash, Richard K. Morgan's Altered Carbon, along with the film Blade Runner to problematize notions of neoliberal resilience. Alphin returns to biopolitics, intensity, and resilience, connecting these themes to accelerationism as she engages with biohacker discourses. Here she argues that a biohacker is, in part, an intensification of the self-monitoring cyborg and accelerationism is in the end another form of resilience.

Action-packed, thought-provoking, an award winner for best metaphysical literature, and the series most often compared to Asimov's best work, The Post-Human series nearly doubles in length with this single installment. A book that is best described as multiple books within a single novel, Superhuman's structure perfectly reflects a narrative that explores multiple timelines from parallel universes, multiple versions of our heroes, our villains, and in some cases, hero and villain in the same package. You'll never think of the Post-Human series the same way again, you'll never think of a novel in the same way again, and you will never think of reality itself in the same way after experiencing Superhuman for yourself.
