Category:Cyberutopia

Cyberutopia refers to utopian conceptions of the information society that emphasize the emancipatory, democratic, and transformative potential of advanced technologies—including digital, biotechnological, and cybernetic systems—, while remaining open to critical scrutiny regarding their social and political implications. Cyberpunk can be considered particular variant of cyberutopia that predominantly relies on dystopian features; if cyberutopia is understood in a narrow sense as focused on the positive potentials of advanced technologies, cyberpunk may be seen as its dialectical counterpart.

The articles included in this category present cyberutopias developed by their respective authors, usually in the form of short stories exploring possible technological, social, and political futures.
