Cilj je ovog rada analizom cyberpunka i informacijskog društva pronaći njihova zajednička obilježja te uz pomoć sociološke imaginacije mapirati ključne probleme suvremenog društva. Prikazana su ključna djela cyberpunka kao distopije: Blade Runner, Matrix i Ready Player One. Ukazano je na povezanost umjetnosti i stvarnosti, ali i na potencijal umjetnosti za promišljanje o stvarnosti i budućnosti. Tehnologija je bitni element koji povezuje cyberpunk i informacijsko te je stoga ona postavljena u fokus. Rasprava se odvija na tri razine: pojedinca, društva i svijeta. Definirani su sljedeći problemi: kibernetički prostor, transhumanizam, kapitalizam, siromaštvo, ekološka katastrofa i nedostatak resursa. Pokušalo se ukazati na elemente cyberpunka danas, upozoriti na mogući razvoj tih elemenata u budućnosti te pokazati da je vizija budućnosti čovječanstva doista slična cyberpunku. The aim of this paper is to find their common characteristics by analyzing cyberpunk and the information society, and with the help of sociological imagination to map the key problems of contemporary society. The key works of cyberpunk as a dystopia are shown: Blade Runner, The Matrix and Ready Player One. The connection between art and reality was pointed out, but also the potential of art to reflect on reality and the future. Technology is an essential element that connects cyberpunk and information, and therefore it is placed in focus. The discussion takes place on three levels: the individual, the society and the world. The following problems are defined: cyberspace, transhumanism, capitalism, poverty, ecological disaster and scarcity of resources. An attempt was made to point out the elements of cyberpunk today, to warn about the possible development of these elements in the future, and to show that the vision of the future of humanity is indeed similar to cyberpunk.

Ovaj diplomski rad razmatra ekološku filozofiju (ekozofiju) indijske autorice Vandane Shiva. Autorica ukazuje na promjenu poimanja planeta Zemlja od Majke Prirode do resursa svedenog na proste faktore. Upravo su resursi temeljni poticaj za kolonizaciju i neokolonizaciju koja, kako autorica tvrdi, nikad ni nije završila, a bez radikalne promjene ni ne može završiti. Pojmom biopiratstvo označava krađu prirodnih dobara zemalja Trećeg svijeta, a na primjeru patenata i genetički modificiranih organizama pokazuje na koje se sve načine eksploatira Treći svijet. Patenti oduzimaju mogućnost ljudske kreativnosti, a genetički modificirani organizmi čine posljednju točku čovjekova uplitanja u prirodu. Čovjekovo djelovanje na Zemlji dovodi do smanjenja bioraznolikosti, do lokalnih i globalnih ekoloških kriza. Kulminacija čovjekova izrabljivanja prirode očituje se u klimatskim promjenama kojima ih sustav proizvodnje, koji ih je i stvorio, izrabljuje u svoju korist i tako produbljuje problem klimatskih promjena, a ujedno ih maskira kao odgovornost pojedinca. Kao temeljni problem autorica navodi sustav proizvodnje – kapitalizam koji pokušava do krajnje mjere iskoristiti i posljednji resurs Zemlje. Međutim, ne samo da takav sustav iskorištava prirodu; on to čini i s ljudima – eksploatira ih, bogatiji postaju sve bogatiji, a siromašni sve siromašniji. Do rješenja problema patenata, biopiratstva, neokolonijalizma, klimatskih promjena, eksploatacije i dr. neće doći sve dok ne dođe do promjene sustava. This thesis discusses the ecological philosophy (ecosophy) of Indian author Vandana Shiva. The author points out the change in the understanding of the planet Earth from Mother Nature to a resource reduced to simple factors. It is the resources that are the fundamental impetus for colonization and neo-colonization, which, as the author claims, has never ended, nor can it end without radical change. The term biopiracy means the theft of natural assets of Third World countries, and with the help of patents and genetically modified organisms it shows in which ways the Third World is exploited. Patents take away the possibility of human creativity, and genetically modified organisms are the last point of human interference in nature. Human activity on Earth leads to the reduction of biodiversity, to local and global ecological crises. The culmination of man's exploitation of nature is manifested in climate change, which the production system, which created them, exploits them to its advantage and thus deepens the problem of climate change, while masking them as the responsibility of the individual. As a fundamental problem, the author cites the system of production - capitalism, which tries to make the most of the last resource of the Earth. However, not only does such a system exploit nature, it does so with humans – it exploits them, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. The solution to the problems of patents, biopiracy, neocolonialism, climate change, exploitation, etc. will not be reached until there is a change in the system.
