During the recording of a TV interview in Rome this September, the interviewer asked me why I chose the word cyberpunk<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0instead of the more fashionable terms \u201cAI\u201d or \u201crobotics.\u201d My answer was that in the verses of\u00a0Poetry is cyberpunk<\/a><\/strong><\/em>\u00a0I don\u2019t deal with the\u00a0mechanics<\/em>\u00a0of technology, but with its\u00a0impact<\/em>\u00a0on human beings. In literature and cinema, cyberpunk has never been just an aesthetic; it has always represented an act of rebellion: a way of telling stories about dystopian futures dominated by technology and authoritarian systems, while at the same time focusing on how we, as human beings, resist, adapt, and try to find meaning in a world that often dehumanizes us.<\/p>

For me, then,\u00a0cyberpunk<\/em>\u00a0is not only a visual and artistic imaginary, but also a stance: it embodies challenge, vulnerability, and the survival of the soul in the face of overwhelming systems.<\/p>

Of course, I don\u2019t deny that I have deeply loved its aesthetic as well, first encountered through films such as\u00a0Blade Runner<\/em>,\u00a0Akira<\/em>, and -above all, for me –Ghost in the Shell<\/em>: works that showed how, behind the neon lights and hyper-technological cities, there always lies the most ancient question of all:\u00a0what it means to remain human<\/strong>.<\/p>

La poesia \u00e8 cyberpunk – Poetry is Cyberpunk by Stefania Lucchetti reinvents the poetic language of the 21st century.<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>

Poetry is Cyberpunk<\/span><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0is the English language edition of well loved Italian contemporary poet Stefania Lucchetti’s\u00a0La poesia \u00e8 cyberpunk<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/span>published in Italy by Gruppo Albatros Il Filo<\/u>. No longer a muse but a warrior, Stefania Lucchetti\u2019s lyrical voice in\u00a0Poetry is Cyberpunk<\/span>\u00a0reinvents the poetic language of the 21st century. A poetic revolution blending technology, existentialism, and lyricism.. In an era dominated by biotechnology, artificial intelligence, and virtual reality\u2014where the boundary between the real and the digital dissolves\u2014Stefania Lucchetti offers poetry as an act of rebellion and human resistance. Her poetic voice breaks away from traditional myths and embraces a new dimension: that of cyberpunk\u2014a world made of neural networks, algorithms, and a “lyrical dark web,” where human identity struggles to emerge amid an increasingly dystopian reality.\u00a0Poetry is Cyberpunk<\/span>\u00a0is a lyrical journey that merges clear and powerful verses capable of expressing the soul\u2019s fragile struggle between technology and humanity. Lucchetti becomes a hacker of cognition, a poet and rebel, proposing an alternative grammar and a language that breaks from traditional punctuation to give voice to the depths of being. With cultural references to the fathers of cyberpunk, like William Gibson and Philip K. Dick, the collection explores new paradigms of existence -from data capitalism to digital pervasiveness -offering the reader a haunting and captivating mirror of our present. Published in both Italian and English, the book is also a tribute to the author\u2019s bilingualism, sharing an authentic dialogue between two languages, two sensibilities, two worlds. A work that not only speaks of poetry but reinvents it as a tool of resistance, existential philosophy, and defiance against dehumanization.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
