Genres

Cyberpunk

Cyberpunk is a subgenre of science fiction that emerged in the early 1980s, characterized by its focus on a dystopian future where advanced technology and cybernetics are juxtaposed with societal decay and a breakdown of social order. Set in not-so-distant futures, cyberpunk narratives often explore themes of identity, artificial intelligence, corporate hegemony, and the fusion of the organic with the synthetic. The genre is known for its gritty, noir-inspired aesthetics, featuring protagonists who are hackers, rebels, or outcasts navigating oppressive, high-tech urban landscapes. Through vivid depictions of cybernetic enhancements, virtual realities, and the omnipresence of the internet, cyberpunk books delve into the ethical and philosophical dilemmas posed by technological advancement, offering a critical examination of the potential consequences of unchecked corporate power and the erosion of human connection in a digital age.

Surrealism

Surrealism is a genre of literature that explores the subconscious mind and the irrational aspects of human experience. It often features dreamlike imagery, unexpected juxtapositions, and a sense of the uncanny. Surrealist literature seeks to challenge conventional thinking and push the boundaries of reality, often blurring the lines between fantasy and reality. It is a genre that celebrates the power of the imagination and encourages readers to question their perceptions of the world around them.
