I'm busy with a sci-fi reading challenge and one of the challenges is to read a Biopunk novel. The problem is that I can't seem to find a definitive definition on what Biopunk actually entails.
The definition I found was "(n.) [biology + cyberpunk] a subgenre of science fiction which explores the societal effects of biotechnology and genetic engineering. "
Now using that definition something like Robert J. Sawyer's
Rollback fits the bill. However someone has remarked that Biopunk needs some kind of resistance movement or oppressive government/corporation.
Now I'm totally confused. Thoughts?
