cyberpunk:

A term which denotes a sub-species of science fiction. The word is a conflation of cybernetics and punk. Punk is a word of unknown origin and with a variety of meanings; cybernetics derives from Greek kybernetes ('a steersman') and denotes the comparative study of automatic communications and control in functions of living bodies and in mechanical electronic systems (such as computers). Cyberpunk stories and novels are usually set in the near future and depend considerably on contemporary technological and cultural references. The characters inhabit a world where no one is 'ordinary'; they are punks, space Rastas, computer jockeys and electronic drug addicts. Technology is important; hence artificial intelligences, laser, neon, synthetic music and so on. Among its better known practitioners are William Gibson, K. W. Jeter and Walter Jon Williams.

Believe it or not, this is a much more entertaining read than you might think. It’s occasionally quite funny and wry.
