Infopunk

Science fiction in which information itself is the frontier: alien scripts, signals surfacing from noise, loops, simulations and minds made of data, in ordinary, closely observed worlds. Drawn from Bruce R. Long's Informationist SF theory (University of Sydney MPhil, 2010 https://ses.library.usyd.edu.au/handle/2123/5838 ) and the infopunk genres of NeuraScene's ontology, from Alphaville and Stalker to Arrival, Annihilation, Source Code and Skyline.
