Cyberfiction After the Future

Cyberfiction: After the Futureexplores a world where cybernetics sets the terms for life and cultureour world of ubiquitous info-tech, instantaneous capital flows, and immanent catastrophe. Economics fuses with technology to create a new kind of speculative fiction: cyberfiction. Paul Youngquist reveals the ways in which J. G. Ballard, Philip K. Dick, Samuel Delany, Octavia Butler, and William Gibson, among others, map a territory where information reigns supreme and the future is becoming a thing of the past.

Paul Youngquist is Professor of English at the University of Colorado. He is the author of Madness and Blake’s Myth, Monstrosities: Bodies and British Romanticism, as well as essays ranging from romantic to post-modern culture.
