Setting and Environment in Cyberpunk

September 28th, 2009 at 17:51

Rather than write a long narrative this time, I considered the nature of this weeks assignment which I have interpreted as: to explore and discuss the role that setting and environment play in the stories and how these elements contribute to the tone of the stories, and decided to do something slightly different. To me, Setting and Environment are very much about imagery, so what I’ve decided to do is to share my thoughts using images (apologies in advance if this completely fails ;-) ).

What I have done is to create a small gallery on flickr into which I have added images that evoke different elements, themes and aspects that seem to recur in cyberpunk stories. I’ve added some notes with each of the images. I had hoped to embed the gallery directly into this blog but sadly I don’t seem to be able to do that – at least I haven’t figured out how to do that.

You can access the gallery here.

    Great collection of pictures! That was a great idea to create a gallery to this theme. I’m sure that people will relate to these images in their homeworks or in the discussion.
