      I would reckon it’s analogous to steam, arcane, or solar punk. Where the technology and society of the world is primarily if not ubiquitously based around the concept in question, so biopunk would be a world where biological enhancement and biotech are central

      The only movie I can think of off the top of my head is eXistenZ

    Are we just putting the word “punk” at the end of things to make them appear as if they’re new again?

    I really liked the atmosphere and world of Vesper, but the story was contrived and bland I felt.

    I’ve seen District 9 mentioned as kind of biopunk, so maybe if that counts, I’d say that’s my favorite.

    Depends how you define it but Annihilation was pretty good. Also Altered Carbon though that’s a series
