This presentation will be exploring the fascinating world of Biopunk Fiction and its place within the broader spectrum of biotechnological advancements and literary imagination. First it will outline the journey which begins with the dawn of the "Age of Biology," marked by the discovery of DNA's double-helix structure and the rise of biotechnology as a pivotal force shaping our world. Further we will delve into the application of biotechnology across various sectors, from medicine to agriculture, and its profound societal implications. Then it will explore Biopunk as a genre—an intriguing successor to Cyberpunk—that challenges our understanding of life and the boundaries of human nature. By examining the historical evolution of Biopunk fiction, including iconic works like Frankenstein and Brave New World, we will uncover how this genre intertwines with themes of bioterrorism, bioethics, and the ethical dilemmas posed by genetic engineering. Finally, we will look at major trends in Biopunk fiction and imagine the future of this genre, as it continues to push the boundaries of our imagination and raises critical questions about the direction of human evolution in a biotechnologically enhanced world.
