Dystopian Biopunk Dictionary - Biopunk Part 4 - Science Fiction

The Dystopian Biopunk Dictionary is a definitive guide to the language of a future undone by its own science. It charts the vocabulary of shattered societies where engineered life has become both a commodity and a weapon. Every entry captures the fusion of advanced biotechnology and social collapse, terms born in corporate labs, whispered in resistance cells, and scrawled in the graffiti of decaying megacities. Inside, you'll find the cold precision of genetic science alongside the desperate slang of those surviving its aftermath. From state-controlled gene registries to black-market organ markets, from bio-engineered enforcers to viral rebellions, each definition reveals the machinery of oppression and the resilience of those who endure it. For writers, creators, and genre devotees, this dictionary offers both a reference and a portal into the dystopian biopunk mindset, a world where progress and ruin are indistinguishable, and survival is written in the language of biology. Dystopian Biopunk - A subgenre of biopunk set in a world where oppressive, authoritarian regimes use biotechnology to maintain control over the population. These dystopian societies are marked by pervasive surveillance, genetic stratification, and the commodification of life through biological manipulation. Central themes often involve resistance movements, the quest for identity, and the struggle to reclaim autonomy in a world where life itself is engineered and controlled.
