Cyberpunk
The definition of Cyberpunk is a genre of science fiction set in a lawless subculture of an oppressive society dominated by computer technology. If we break this word down the word "cyber" refers to the characteristic of the culture of computers, information technology, and virtual reality, things that are really high tech in other words. The word "punk" means a hoodlum or ruffian. So put together, the word cyberpunk means low lives in the age of many technological advances using that technology to their discretion.
