Редактирование: Biopunk (раздел)

== Science fiction ==
Biopunk science fiction is also subgenre or derivative of cyberpunk fiction that focuses on the near-future unintended consequences of the biotechnology revolution following the discovery of recombinant DNA. Biopunk stories explore the struggles of individuals or groups, often the product of [[human experimentation]], against a backdrop of [[cyberpunk|totalitarian governments and megacorporations]] which misuse biotechnologies as means of [[social control]] and profiteering. Unlike [[cyberpunk]], it builds not primarily on information technology, but on synthetic biology and other biotechnological fields like genetic engineering. Like in post-cyberpunk fiction, individuals are usually [[self modification|modified]] and [[human enhancement|enhanced]] not with cyberware, but by [[Genetic engineering|genetic manipulation]]. A common feature of biopunk fiction is the "black clinic", which is a laboratory, clinic, or hospital that performs illegal, unregulated, or ethically-dubious biological modification and genetic engineering procedures.<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GURPS_Bio-Tech Wikipedia: GURPS Bio-tech]</ref> Many features of biopunk fiction have their roots in William Gibson's [[Neuromancer]], one of the first cyberpunk novels.<ref>[http://journal.media-culture.org.au/0006/biopunk.php Media-Culture.org: "Biopunk"]</ref>
