CYBERPUNK

KIBERNETIKA - rec grckog porekla, oznacava nauku koja se bavi opstim zakonima upravljanja u privredi, drustvu, u zivim organizmima i masinama, te opstim zakonima prikupljanja, cuvanja, prezentiranja i preobrazaja razlicitih informacija u slozenim sistemima, uz svestranu primenu kompjutera.
PUNK - rec engleskog porekla, oznacava trulo drvo, trulez bezvrednu stvar

Cyberpunk predstavlja podzanr SF-a sa fokusom na "high tech and low life". Izraz Cyberpunk je  prvi put upotrebio  Bruce Bethke u svojoj prici "Cyberpunk" napisanoj 1980. godine. Cyberpunk mozemo definisati kao izrazavanje, najcesce mracnih, ideja o ljudskoj prirodi, tehnologiji i njihovoj kombinaciji u bliskoj buducnosti.

Karakteristike: negativni uticaj tehnologije na covecanstvo; fuzija coveka i masine; korporativna kontrola drustva; fokus na drustveno podzemlje; sveprisutna borba za informacije; mracni vizuelni motivi u kontrastu sa neonskim bojama, postindustrijska distopija.

Cyberpunkeri su najcesce marginalci, otudjeni samotnjaci koji zive na ivici, tamo gde je svakodnevnica brze i iznenadne tehnoloske promene, svet informacije i uobicajenih modifikacija tela. Kod Cyberpunk ostvarenja najcesci tok radnje prati stalnu borbu izmedju Hackera, Vestacke Inteligencije i mega korporacija, obicno vremenski postavljenu u ne tako daleku budućnost na Zemlji.

Predstavnici iz sveta knjizevnosti: William Gibson, Bruce Sterling, Pat Cadigan, Rudy Rucker i John Shirley,Philip K. Dick, Kenji Siratori, Richard Morgan.

Cyberpunk manifesto ver 3.0 - Date 2007 Created by the current Cyberpunk people of 2007 AD

"If you would have a thought controlled, wearable computer that you can fully customize, would that computer be an integral part of your consciousness?"

Hail to the ordinary nerds, who don't walk the streets often , being 24 hours a day online, freaking, hacking, tweaking, etc. Being cyberpunk, being other than normal people Seeing what normal people just do not see. The digital life in biological senses of the mainframe, defined as the global world we life in. Labeled as nerd, weirdos, punks, freaks.... Technology freaks, that understand all systems, labeled as freaks/weirdos by society. Knowing more as common people do, hacking systems for fun, digitally overloading their mind with good information... etc... People like us, loving tech and having more friends online as in their own town/city, searching and learning technology to use it in other ways as it was meant to be, searching other means of system liberation, fighting against corporate oppression and censorship, freedom of information wars...

Long live the Cybero-revolution, long live the techno-anarchists, long live the hackers and the crackers...
[edit] Vision:

The world "they" want to give us is a toxic ball of disease, a living corpse ravaged by pollution and malignant complacency. The world "they" want to give us is only meant to serve them, to keep themselves and their closest friends in power, to keep the human cattle complacent and ignorant of alternatives, to exploit and destroy the planet and to suffocate those who can change this world for the better. "They" want the masses to remain docile as sheep, so "they" create "entertainment" to brainwash the masses into a slumber. "They" will do anything to keep themselves in power and suppress anything that may threaten it, including "eternal damnation" at the hands of their schizophrenic fantasy for "God" upon those who disagree.

Who are "they?" "They" are the companies, countries and individuals who seek domination by addicting the human cattle to certain concepts: oil, drugs, religion, mind numbing "technology," and "popular culture." "They" are once powerful monopolies, defrocked and shattered for refusing to play fair, who are trying to resurrect their former corrupt glory by conspiring with Big Brother to rob us of our freedom and privacy. "They" are Internet-based companies with many tentacles who are buying every smaller company on the net looking to control all net content. "They" are mindless media companies who repeatedly vomit the same garbage for "entertainment" to numb the cattle into submission, and then use "copyright laws" to force Internet companies into oblivion and extend their control over the ether. "They" are the actors, musicians, and artists who conspire with the media companies to spread the vomit, and then whore themselves for unworthy political causes. "They" are lunatics and perverts who ram thier "theology" down our throats and expect us to have blind faith in their "God" even though their "God" is an outdated illusion. "They" are idiots, too stupid to walk and chew gum at the same time, who manage to become national leaders not by the will of the people, but by luck of circumstances and a political climate favorable for them. "They" are the reason why the world is in such bad shape, and why cyberpunks are fighting back.

Cyberpunks refuse to be cattle, to jump on bandwagons, to be "one of the crowd." Cyberpunks see through the deception of modern culture, and they fight against it. Cyberpunks are the ones brave enough to deliver their message, to stand before the crowds, the government, the church and the industry and say "YOU ARE WRONG!" Cyberpunks accept the ostracism, because they already rejected "society's" ways for something better. Sometimes, it's a lonely fight, but cyberpunks are in virtually every society, every country, and when they come together they are a force "they" must deal with.
[edit] Technology:

Advancements in technology keeps us busy, keeping up-to-date with latest tech, almost like old CyberPunk? (pre 2000) turns real in 21th century terms, like 2006 and beyond. Bio-implants, VR wars, techno-information warfare. Future wars not fought with armies, but with computer systems. Current technology makes us Cyberpunks adapt to it, and even (like always) think one step beyond. Thinking 20 years in the future, creating new things with current technology , inventing other means to use a device, changing the original senses of an apparatus, to create a new complex electronic system, like hacking a phone, to turn it into a infra-red TV remote.
[edit] Politics:

The war against global big time corporations, like Unilever, Shell, Micro-soft, Google, Gillette and others, still rages on. Oppression by corporations using the puppet government as their worktool , to keep the people dumb, is not an option for cyberpunks. We are anarchist/revolutionary anti-system people. We think for ourselves, and do not need some big guy/woman have to tell us what we may think. Fighting corporations, by hacking their systems, spreading viruses, mind-probes, DDOS attacks are now common in 2007. The things described in books like Neuromancer and other CP-novels wrote (as being SF in those 80s/90s days), became todays reality. 2006+ years (21th century) gets more digital, and so do the governments, by creating Identification protocols to control their humans/people. Cyberpunks still rage war against ID protocols, by becoming unknown, nerds, with big brains, hacking things, etc.
[edit] Sociology:

Cyberpunks tend to be individuals that do not fit in any system or group. They are mostly very intelligent people, who see beyond the explicit. They witness the absurdity of the culture, parody it, mash and transform it. They use the tools of society to witness against it, to document its ignorant self-destructive tendecies and to indite it; sharing their knowledge to a select group, often cursed/hated by system folks. Having more friends on the digital internet/ultranet than in their own town/city. Sharing more knowledge digitally on the net-highway, than via embodied interaction. Spending more time to get more technological knowledge/information than to socialize is not uncommon.
[edit] History:

Cyberpunks change their ideas, music, fashion, etc. from time to time. In the 80s, they had more synth oriented music, more old-fashion tech, etc. Now in 21th century, we have the global broadband internet, satellite mobile/GSM phones, VR, etc. We adapt to the tech , and the tech adapts to us. We are symbiotics, both biological as technological. Our Cyberpunk movement advances as time goes by. We learn, and we grow more powerful. As we are the soldiers of the technology frontier, not known by the system, but still alive. Cyberpunk, coined by Bruce Bethke and realized by William Gibson, that which once was Science Fiction is now turning into reality. When CP fans get their hands on current tech, there will be a huge rise of CP fans worldwide, who realize that CP is not only not a fairytale, but is also a hi-tech movement that goes beyond the imagination of the original writers of Cyberpunk novels.
[edit] Freedom:

Cyberpunks encourage the ultimate freedom of thought. Our quest for free access to all information has no boundaries. We are those who need to understand before accepting anything of the media feed. We are the bug in the source code, the probability of (r)evolution that threatens rigid systems. Nobody can control us, and that's why we're chased. We do not belong to the Society they want to create. Skilled programmers, utopian dreamers, artists or office workers, we are the ones who resist, living in the datanet where there's no law applicable, bypassing all the frontiers; cyberworld is where we belong. We're the children of cyberspace, we can do all we want, we look towards the future, trying to think of new technologies, spreading our ideas in the vast ocean of information. We arent just the agregators of information nor the static target audience not the ultimate consumer. For us informtion is not an intangible stream of data. It as as much a part of us, as we are of it. It runs through our minds, just like blood and oxygen. To hold infromation or use it for oppression against us is like denying air to breathe. Yet we are also the ultimate brain surgeon, capable of removing any filth 'they' would like to embeddin usOn Serbian Language, an older version of Manifest:
Mi smo elektronski umovi, grupa pobunjenika otvorenih misli. SajberPankeri. Mi zivimo u SajberSpejs-u(Cyberspace), mi smo u isto vreme na svim mestima, nemamo granice.
Ovo je nas Manifest. Manifest SajberPanka.

I.SajberPank

1/Mi smo odredjeni pojedinci, malo drugaciji, ocenjuju tehnologiju, plivaju u okeanu informacija.
2/Mi smo nevaljala deca, skolarci, obicno sedimo u poslednjoj klupi u uglu ucionice.
3/Mi smo adolescenti koje svi smatraju za strance.
4/Ucimo da hakujemo u operativne sisteme istrazivajuci njihovu dubinu, trazeci njihove krajeve.
5/Odrasli smo u parku, pored obale, sa portabl kompjuterom oslonjenim na kolenima, programirajuci poslednju virtuelnu realnost.
6/Nasa je garaza napunjena elektronskim bezobrazlukom, kao i pegla naslonjena na sto pored razmontiranog radio aparata. Nasa je soba napunjena kompjuterima, printerima i sustecim modemima.
7/Mi smo oni sto vide drugaciji oblik realnosti. Sa nase tacke gledista se vidi vise nego sa tacke obicnih ljudi. Oni vide samo spoljasnost, mi vidimo i unutrasnjost. Mi sagledavamo realno sa naocarima za sunce.
8/Mi smo oni skoro nepoznati ljudi. Ljudi prepusteni sopstvenim mislima koji sede dan za danom ispred kompjutera, pretrazujuci mrezu trazeci nesto. Ne napustamo kucu, samo s'vremena na vreme odemo do skole ili obliznjeg dobro poznatog bara da budemo sa par prijatelja koje imamo, do trafike iza ugla ili se pak samo setamo.
9/Nemamo puno prijatelja samo par njih sa kojima idemo na zurke. Svi ostali koje poznajemo su u Mrezi, sa druge strane zice. Upoznajemo ih na omiljenom IRC kanalu, forumu, sistemu koji cesto posecujemo.
10/Mi smo oni koje nije nimalo briga sta drugi misle o nama, nije nam vazno kako cemo da se predstavimo ili sta ljudi pricaju u nasem odsustvu.
11/Vecina nas zivi skriveno. Biti sto manje poznat umanjuje mogucnost da dodjemo u kontakt sa neprijateljima.
12/Drugi vole publicitet, vole famu, oni su poznati u podzemnom svetu, njihova imena se slusaju sa paznjom. Ali svi zajedno, ujedinjeni smo SajberPankeri.

13/Drustvo nas ne razume, za drustvo mi smo "retki" i "otkaceni pojedinci", tako nas vide ljudi koji zive daleko od pravih informacija i slobodnih ideja. Drustvo porice nasu viziju drustva.
14/Oni preziru nas slobodan nacin razmisljanja, jer slobodna misao je zabranjena.
15/SajberPank ima i spoljasnji izgled, nedostaje mu pokret. SajberPank su ljudi koji pocinju od normalnih stvari dok ne postanu "tehnomanijaci", mizicari koje dotacinje elektronska mizika, povrsni studenti.
16/SajberPank nije vise produkt literature niti obicna subkultura, Sajberpank je isto sto i nova kultura, deca nove ere. Kultura koja ujedinjava sve nase zajednicke interese i poglede. Mi smo ujedinjeni. Mi smo Sajberpank.


II Drustvo

1/Drustvo, ono sto nas okruzuje je zapuseno konzervatizmom i "sopstvenom celinom", dok tone u zivom pesku vremena.
2/Neki odbijaju da veruju u ovo, ocigledna stvar je da zivimo u pokvarenom drustvu. Pozivi za reformom kojima su nase vlade bile ponosne, nisu nista vise od malih koraka koji se bolje mogu preci skokom.
3/Ljudi se plase novog i njima stranog. Vise vole stare stvari, dobro poznate koje su sami proverili. Plase se onoga sta im Novo moze uciniti. Boje se da izgube ono sto vec poseduju.
4/Njihov strah je toliko intenzivan da su proglasili za neprijateljsku - revolucionarnu i liberalnu ideju. To je njihova greska.
5/Ljudi treba da ostave te strahove i da krenu napred. U smislu da ono malo sto se ima sada moze da se razmnozi ujutru. Sve sto treba da urade je da stegnu pesnice i da osete Novu Stvar; da predaju slobodu misli, ideja recima:
6/Vekovima generacije su bile poducavane na isti nacin. Ideali su ono cemu svi stremimo. Individualnost je zaboravljena. Ljudi imaju isti patern misli, prateci model koji opet namecu mladima, "edukacioni model" za svu decu: i, kada se neko usudi da protivureci autoritetu, on je kaznjen "To je sta se desava kada se izrazi sopstveno misljenje koje je drugacije od onog profesorovog".
7/Nase drustvo je bolesno i potrebno ga je leciti. Lek je promena Sistema....


III.Sistem

1/Sistem. Vekovima u kolevci bezvrednih principa. Sistem koji se nije promenio puno jos od rodjenja.
2/Sistem je greska.
3/Sistem mora da izadje sa istinom pre nego sto postane kvalifikovan da komanduje. Potreba vlada je da ih slepo pratimo. Zato smo ziveli u informacionom pomracenju. Kada ljudi dodju u posed vise informacija od onih koje im servira vlada ne mogu da razloze tacnu od netacne informacije. Zato laz postaje istina a istina laz, istina - fundamentalna za za sve. Zato vodje kontrolisu lazima ljude kojima nedostaje poimanje onoga sto jeste istina i slepo slusaju vladu, verujuci im.
4/Borili smo se za slobodu informacija. Borili smo se za slobodu izrazavanja i stampe. Stremeci za slobodnim izrazavanjem misli, bez da budemo gonjeni od strane sistema.
5/Cak i u demokratckim zemljama oni pokusavaju da budu kolevka slobode informacija. Losa informacija je najvaznija ruka sistema. Oruzje kojim upravljaju vrlo dobro.
6/Mreza je ono sto nam pomaze da distriburiramo nase misli slobodno. Mreza bez barijera i bez ogranicenja.
7/Nase je vase, vase je nase.
8/Svi mogu da dele informacije, bez zabrana.
9/Enkripcija informacija je nase oruzje. Tako da rec o revoluciji moze da se siri neprekidno i da vlade mogu samo da nagadjaju.
10/Mreza je nasa esencija, u Mrezi mi smo kraljevi.
11/Zakoni. Svet se menja, ali zakoni ostaju isti. Sistem se ne menja, samo je promenio nekoliko karakteristika da se prilagodi vremenu u kojem smo ziveli, ali u njegovom srcu sve je ostalo isto.
12/Potrebni su nam zakoni. Zakoni koji ce prilagoditi vreme u kojem zivimo svetu koji nas okruzuje. Ne trebaju nam zakoni konstruisani na onima iz proslosti. Zakoni za danasnjicu, zakoni, koji ce nas prilagoditi narednom jutru.
13/Zakoni koji govore samo o nama. Zakoni kojima ocajno treba revizija.


IV.Vizija

1/Nekim ljudima nije vazno sta se desava u svetu. Njima je vazno sta se desilo u okolini, u njihovom mikro-univerzumu.
2/Ovi ljudi mogu da vide samo tamnu buducnost, zato sto vide sebe samo u sadasnjosti.
3/Drugi su vise zainteresovani o tome sta se desava na globalnom planu. Njih interesuje sve, u perspektivi buducnosti, o onome sto ce se desiti u svetu.
4/Oni imaju vise optimisticki pristup. Za njih buducnost je cistija i lepsa.
5/Nas interesuje sta se desava sada i sta ce se desiti u buducnosti.
6/Nadgledamo Mrezu i Mreza raste i postaje veca i sira.
7/Uskoro ce sve na ovom svetu biti opkoljeno Mrezom: od vojnih sistema do kucnog racunara.
8/Ali mreza je kuca anarhije.
9/Ne moze biti kontrolisana i u tome lezi njena moc.
10/Svaki covek ce biti nezavistan u Mrezi.
11/Sve informacije ce biti ovde,zarobljene u ambisu nula i jedinica.
12/Onaj koji kontrolise Mrezu, kontrolise informaciju.
13/Zivimo u mesavini proslosti i sadasnjosti.
14/Lose dolazi od coveka a dobro od tehnologije.
15/Mreza ce da kontrolise malog pojedinca a mi cemo da kontrolisemo Mrezu.
16/Ali ako ne kontrolises bices kontrolisan
17/Informacija je MOC!


V.Gde smo?

1/Gde smo?
2/Svi zivimo u bolesnom svetu gde je mrznja oruzje.
3/Svet raste lagano. SajberPank se tesko razvija u nerazvijenom svetu, sa ljudima okolo koji posmatraju kako se njegova tvrdjava razvija.
4/Mi idemo napred, a oni nas guraju nazad. Dustvo nas suzbija. Da, oni suzbijaju slobodu misli.Sa njihovim okrutnim edukacionim programima u skolama i univerzitetima.Oni samelju decu njihovim pogledima na svet i kaznjavaju i sprecavaju svaki drugaciji pokusaj.
5/Nasa deca rastu, obrazuju se u ovom starom i jos ne promenjenom sistemu.Sistem koji ne tolerise slobodu misljenja i zahteva striktno postovanje pravila...
6/Ziveli bi smo u svetu drugacijem od ovog kada bi ljudi napravili odredjene korake.
7/Tesko je ziveti u ovom svetu SajberPanka.
8/Kao da je vreme stalo.
9/Mi zivimo na pravom mestu ali ne i u pravom vremenu.
10/Sve je tako obicno, ljudi su isti, njihova dela su ista.
11/Neki pokusavaju da nadju sopstveni svet, svet SajberPanka, i nalazeci ga oni konstruisu svoj svet. Oni konstruisu svoje misli koje menjaju stvarnost, njima je ovo dato i oni zive u virtualnom svetu. Izumi kreiraju stvarnost.
12/Drugi su pak navikli na svet kakav jeste. Oni nastavljaju da zive u njemu, iako im se to ne svidja. Nemaju drugog izbora nego da se nadaju da ce svet nastaviti da bude zdrav, oni su pratioci.
13/Ono sto mi pokusavamo je da promenimo situaciju. Mi pokusavamo da uklopimo sadasnji svet u nase kalupe potreba i vizija. Da bi ga prilagodili sto bolje i do maksimalne funkcionalnosti. Kada ne mozemo, mi jednostavno zivimo u ovom svetu kao SajberPankeri, ne brine nas tezina situacije u kojoj se nalazimo, kada dodjemo u sukob sa drustvom,pruzicemo otpor.
14/Konstruisemo nase svetove u SajberSpejs-u (Cyberspace).
15/Gomila nula i gomila delova informacija.
16/Mi smo konstruisali nasu zajednicu.Zajednicu SAJBERPANK-a.E sad, prvi put izraz cyberpunk je upotrebio Brus Betke kao naslov u njegovoj kratkoj prici "Cyberpunk" objavljenoj 1983. god. Ipak ocem CP se smatra W. Gibson, pisac mozda najpoznatije CP knjige Neuromancer, za koju je dobio nagrade Hugo, Nebula i Filip K. Dik. Glavni lik u Neuromanceru je Kejs, haker - surfer po Cyberspace Putevima. Zivi od prikupljanja tajnih informacija za onog ko moze da ih plati. Medjutim, Kejs vara pogresne ljude te mu oni uzvrazaju tako sto pocnu unistavanje njegovog nervnog sistema. Osudjen na smrt u tehno podzemlju dobija nov angazman od misterioznih poslodavaca. Uslov je da udje u matricu, vestacku inteligenciju kojom upravlja klan Tezje-Eshpul. Podzanrovi CP:
1. steampunk - teme vezane za rani industrijski period postavljen u alternativno Viktorijansko doba i
2.biopunk - u kom dominira biotehnologija za razliku od "obicnog" CP koji akcenat stavlja na informacije tj. trgovinu istim Gardner Dozois, one of the editors of Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine during the early '80s, is generally acknowledged as the first person to popularize the term 'cyberpunk', when describing a body of literature. Dozois doesn't claim to have coined the term; he says he picked it up "on the street somewhere".Before its christening the cyberpunk movement, known to its members as "The Movement", had existed for quite some time, centred around Bruce Sterling's samizdat, 'Cheap Truth'. Authors like Sterling, Rucker and Shirley submitted articles pseudonymously to this newsletter, hyping the works of people in the group and vigorously attacking the SF mainstream. This helped form the core movement consciousness.

e dread sad si me odushevio
svaka chast za rad
nashao sam se u dosta toga

[dreadx]

kao na primer?

[DeMeT®iJu§]

kao na primer da sam dozhivotni pobunjenik i da ne dozvoljavam da nam serviraju glupsti kakve oni hoce
na primer da ceo dan ne izbijam ispred ekrana
i kao na primer da mnogo volim tehniku
i kao na primer da znam pola rechi ovog rechnika iako nikad nisam chuo za cyberpunk(posebno ove japanske)
i kao na primer da mi je pc sklonishte od realnog sveta u kojem ja gospodarim a ne drushtveni i fizichki zakoni

[dreadx]

Pravi si rebel without pause

[DeMeT®iJu§]

mislish
rebel without pulse

[dreadx]

RONIN  samo pazi da ne ispadne MR. JOHNSON na kraju, i neka realnom svetu drushtveni i fizichki zakoni budu sklonishte od tvog pc (koja je config.)

[DeMeT®iJu§]

konfa nije jaka
3ghz -intel

2gb ram ddr

6600 gt 128 ddr 3

ali uzimam sa d 8800gt ili 9600 pa ce da ude veselo
sad kad sam ukapirao shta sam
its post time 

[Doca]

Svaka chast    Narocito mi se dopao onaj cyberpunk manifesto.

PS. potkrala ti se greskica kod muzike, bend se zove Front 242 (ne 212).

[dreadx]

TAko je, u pravu si, hvala, hvala.

[DeMeT®iJu§]

lep je pojam ovaj cyberpunk ali mi se ne svidja ovo sranje sa kiborzima
budi chovek
ako mozesh

[dreadx]

CP ne podrazumeva uvek i samo kiborge i sl. cak se u retko kojoj knjizi pominju kiborzi. CP cini vise nesto kao underground hacker, secret agent ili neki freelancer koji rastura bulje mega-monopolistickim korporacijama, vladama u senci, masonima, policiji, neprijateljski nastrojenim hackerima, i to sve uz pomoc (ovaj deo mi se najvise svidja) KOMPA, ne mrdajuci iz sopstvene jazbine. dakle ne mora da izlazi sa mitraljezom kao rambo i da poubija 100001 neduznih civila, ne mora da baca pitu u lice Bil Gejtsu, ne mora da se penje na himalaje, prepliva moreuz i sl.  mada ne iskljucuje ponekad operativne zadatke na licu mesta.

[DeMeT®iJu§]

e onda je ok
