Cyberpunk Edgerunners: Deleuze, Cyborgs, and Schizophrenia [PART ONE]



The Anime Cyberpunk: Edgerunners (2022) directed by Hiroyuki Imaishi, and the broader Cyberpunk universe, created by Mike Pondsmith, synthesizes the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, Jean Baudrillard, and Jaques Lacan. In Part One of this three-part series, we start with the gradual decoding of David’s body and end with the volatilization of his subjectivity, following David straight to the schizophrenic limits of his society.

Stay tuned for Part Two and Three!
