Moreover, seeing cyberpunk as a general cultural practice, the \u003ci\u003eCompanion\u003c\/i\u003e provides insights into photography, music, fashion, and activism. Cyberpunk, as the chapters presented here argue, is integrated with other critical theoretical tenets of our times, such as posthumanism, the Anthropocene, animality, and empire. And lastly, cyberpunk is a vehicle that lends itself to the rise of new futurisms, occupying a variety of positions in our regionally diverse reality and thus linking, as much as differentiating, our perspectives on a globalized technoscientific world. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith original entries that engage cyberpunk's diverse 'angles' and its proliferation in our life worlds, this critical reference will be of significant interest to humanities students and scholars of media, cultural studies, literature, and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnna McFarlane\u003c\/strong\u003e is a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow at Glasgow University with a project entitled \"Products of Conception: Science Fiction and Pregnancy, 1968-2015.\" She has worked on the Wellcome Trust-funded Science Fiction and the Medical Humanities project and holds a Ph.D. from the University of St Andrews on William Gibson's science fiction novels.
