Abstract:Cyberpunk culture combines the claims of youth culture and science fiction culture, emphasizing the spiritual needs of the youth to be autonomous while criticizing capitalism’s excessive desire and demands in a state of high technology and low living quality. Influenced by Western cyberpunk culture, Chinese cyberpunk culture has the features of technicalization, autonomization and carnivalization, and with the rapid development of science and technology in China, it has increasingly become the new discursive field of the youth. In the field of cyberpunk fiction in particular, the youth discourses become more mature as they developed the western discourses of technology as power, emphasizing the complexities of the relationship between technology and power domination by representing the cyborg alienation as corporeal politics. Besides, they enhanced the environmental discourses by taking a critical eye on the environmental deterioration caused by global technological developmentalism, and they also created emotional discourses, considering human love as a way of saving and liberating the world of the cyborg. These three discourses form the characteristics of Chinese cyberpunk fiction. Chinese cyberpunk culture transcends its decadence and extremity by combining the cyberpunk culture with national identity, hence developing a new mode of Chinese youth culture by emphasizing innovation, responsibility and awareness of home and nation.
