What is Cyberpunk?
Cyberpunk is a science-fiction sub-genre dealing with the integration of society and technology in dystopian settings. Often referred to as “low-life and high tech,” Cyberpunk stories deal with outsiders (punks) who fight against the oppressors in society (usually mega corporations that control everything) via technological means (cyber). If the punks aren’t actively fighting against a megacorp, they’re still dealing with living in a world completely dependent on high technology.
Cyberpunk characteristics include:
- Dystopian city setting where mega-corporations rule
- Full integration of technology into society, featuring cybernetic implants
- Outsider protagonists (punks) who often are very familiar with the technology around them
- Hard boiled detective and film noir vibes and influence
- Themes dabbling in trans-humanism, existentialism, and what it means to be human.

Die Antwoord are the controversial musicians who front this movie along with the robot, people use them as an excuse to attack it. I feel like if you look at DA, who look like human graffiti surrounded by large symbolic basic graffiti and think they are good people who will lead by example; then good luck.. Not an overly complex movie but one that fills part of the space of robots and humans learning to "communicate". I robot in Africa.
