Popis: Cyberpunk's idea of a counterpolitics-youthful male heroes with working-class chips on their shoulders and postmodern biochips in their brains-seems to have little to do with the burgeoning power of the great social movements of our day: feminism, ecology, peace, sexual liberation, and civil rights. Curiously enough, there is virtually no trace of these social movements in this genre's "credible" dark future, despite the claim by Sterling that cyberpunk futures are "recognizably and painstakingly drawn from the modern condition."'
