Curiosophy: Curiosity Meets Tech
Dive into the shimmering nexus of technology, identity, and culture with Wired Realities. Inspired by Dani Cavallaro's Cyberpunk and Cyberculture: Science Fiction and the Work of William Gibson, this podcast unpacks how cyberpunk literature and film illuminate our evolving relationship with technology.
Each episode explores themes like virtual reality, body modification, and digital mythologies through lenses such as postmodernism, ecofeminism, Gothic aesthetics, and psychoanalysis. We'll tackle how cyberpunk confronts cultural anxieties about power, the blurring of the real and virtual, and humanity’s place in a rapidly changing world.
From William Gibson’s Neuromancer to the dystopian landscapes of today, Wired Realities serves as a guide to understanding the present through the neon-tinged futures of cyberpunk storytelling.
