Analysing a wide range of novels and films, Sean McQueen brings renewed Marxian readings to cyberpunk texts previously theorised by Baudrillard or Deleuze. He places them at the heart of the emergence of biopunk and biocapitalism, theorising shifts in capitalism, science, technology, psychoanalysis, literature and film studies.

Sean McQueen rewrites and re-envisions Gilles Deleuze’s and Jean Baudrillard’s relationship with Marxism and with each other, from their breakdowns to their breakthroughs. He theorises shifts in and across critical approaches to capitalism, science, technology, psychoanalysis, literature and cinema and media studies. He also brings renewed Marxian readings to cyberpunk texts previously theorised by Deleuze and Baudrillard, and places them at the heart of the emergence of biopunk and its relation to biocapitalism by mapping their generic, technoscientific, libidinal and economic exchanges.

Sean McQueen teaches in the School of Languages, Literatures, Cultures and Linguistics at Monash University, Australia. He has published in a range of journals including Colloquy, Science Fiction Film and Television, International Journal of Baudrillard Studies, Science Fiction Studies and Res Futurae.
