NEW UCR LIBRARY EXHIBIT 

A new generation of comics writers and artists, who have slowly been diversifying the industry, has brought new perspectives and ideas along with them. 

Their exciting new artistic visions and energy have utilized the fruitful spaces of cyberpunk to explore how identity, conceptions of the self, and different bodies and peoples fit into modern technological societies. Cyberpunk is tailor-made for these kinds of conceptual explorations of transhumanism, posthumanism, and societal change, as technology is increasingly interfacing with the human body, mind, and culture.

This exhibit will explore some of the ways cyberpunk has changed since its inception, how the visual design and language has evolved, how it has engaged with concepts like transhumanism and posthumanism, and how it continues to reshape itself as our technological landscapes change and evolve.
