As society seemingly is trending towards a cyberpunk dystopian future, what is our responsibility as cybersecurity professionals and hackers to ensure a more positive utopian future? Cyberpunk originated in the 1950-1980’s as a cultural genre that deliberately rebelled against the science-fictional techno-utopian future, pointing out that the rapid development of technology, rise of corporate power, technological warfare, overreaching governments, and anthropogenic mastery of the environment had serious flaws as a blueprint for the future. Yet that future, imagined thirty years ago, is beginning to live out this 1980s prediction of the future. In this presentation, I argue that there is a better direction, a Solarpunk cultural genre, that cybersecurity professionals and hackers can guide society TODAY with sociopolitical critiques of cyberpunk into the 21st century. I’ll provide actionable content daring the audience to imagine a future beyond "the cyberpunk continuum" and working towards a utopia for all. I’ll demonstrate how I’ve evolved my personal life with said actions.
