    Siberpunk'da Teknolojinin Kötüye Kullanılmasının Bir Sonucu Olarak, Yeniden Tasarlanan İnsan-sonrası; Makine Duruyor ve Androidler Elektrikli Koyun Düşler mi? Bilim-Kurgu Eserlerinin Bir İncelemesi

    The present study aims at demonstrating how mechanization and industrialization led to the creation of ‘posthuman’ which is what being deemed as ‘modern human’. It presents a criticism on the evil sides of technoscientific advancements and how human race most likely brings its end by its own. To depict a clear picture of Cyber world in which people are living today, the reader will find out how devices, bodies, buildings, and the whole environment suddenly began to be altered. Thus, the focus of this study is on the two dystopian stories which illuminate our world at this present day and the world in the future; The Machine Stops by E.M. Forster and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick. Both of the works illuminate humanity’s struggle for survival despite bloody and violent experiences that human species had after the exploration of a labyrinthine milieu. Therefore, both of the stories give familiar lessons; how humanity tragically prepares grim scenarios for the future. In addition, the reader is going to maintain required information about the detrimental results of misuse of technology during the millennium. The first chapter is an introduction to Science Fiction. It reflects a short history of the genre with significant examples from literature, such as Frankenstein, Brave New World and The War of Worlds since these have been regarded as cornerstones of the Science Fiction. This chapter also presents development of Cyberpunk which is debated from many aspects, such as initiators and effects leading to a new era. Thus, the chapter consists of two inner sections: ‘Cybernetics, Cyborgs and VR’ and ‘Artificial Intelligence’. The second chapter analyzes the exploitation of the machine by alluding to one of the main stories of this study, The Machine Stops. It shows how the world is depicted in a doomed future. It also touches upon the mechanized humanity's survival in a mechanized world. The third chapter is an analysis of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? in terms of referring to the destroying effects and results of the Age of Enlightenment (the Age of Reason). It portrays what it resembles to live without any hints of humanity, emotions, compassion, conscience, care, or love on a world whose soil, water, air, and animals annihilated. Finally, the reader will encounter misuse of technology in the Pre-Cyber era and a brief comment on Posthuman in the light of the findings of the study. At the end, the study is continued by References.
