- Summary:
- By analysing a wide range of novels and films, Sean McQueen brings renewed Marxian readings to cyberpunk texts previously theorised by Baudrillard or Deleuze. By mapping their generic, technoscientific, libidinal and economic exchanges, he places them at the heart of the emergence of biopunk and its relation to biocapitalism. In this way, he theorises shifts in capitalism, science, technology, psychoanalysis, literature and cinema and media studies.
