Abstract
Science Fiction and Digital Technologies in Argentine and Brazilian Culture explores the use of science fiction, in particular the subgenre “cyberpunk,” in fictional texts produced since the last dictatorships to trace shifts in the nature and conception of power during a period of convulsive change in the region. Through close analysis of a range of novels and comic books, and engaging with theoretical debates concerning the many points of intersection between technology, culture and power, this book examines how writers and artists in Argentina and Brazil have explored new modes of connection and belonging made possible by digital technologies.
