Neuromancer (1984) by William Gibson is considered the first novel representing cyberpunk, a sub-genre of science fiction literature. A vision of a world from some near future, modernized, and at the same time degraded by technology, has been reflected in numerous films. The importance of the role that the cinema itself played in the shaping of the aesthetics of the cyberpunk prose should also be remembered. The example of Neuromancer shows that this influence was not limited to inspirations with plots of such films as Escape from New York (1981) by John Carpenter, but that – most importantly – it manifested itself in the specifically “cinematic” visuality of Gibson’s literary language.

Neuromancer (1984) Williama Gibsona uważany jest za pierwszą powieść reprezentującą podgatunek literatury fantastycznonaukowej zwany cyberpunkiem. Charakterystyczna dla tego nurtu wizja świata niedalekiej przyszłości, zmodernizowanego, a zarazem zdegradowanego przez technologię, znalazła odbicie w licznych filmach. Warto jednak pamiętać również o tym, jak istotną rolę samo kino odegrało w kształtowaniu się estetyki cyberpunkowej prozy. Przykład Neuromancera pokazuje, że ten wpływ nie ograniczał się do inspiracji wątkami fabularnymi z takich obrazów jak Ucieczka z Nowego Jorku (Escape from New York, 1981) Johna Carpentera, lecz przede wszystkim dawał o sobie znać w specyficznie „filmowej” wizualności języka literackiego, którym posługiwał się Gibson.

The subject of the analysis in this article are three films by Bong Joon-ho: The Host (2006), Snowpiercer (2013) and Okja (2017), considered from the posthumanist perspective. A starting point is Donna Haraway’s suggestion that science-fiction stories should be treated as a tool for speculative thinking. Then, I point to the way the Korean film director demonstrates his critical reflection on the effects of climate change, deepening economic inequalities, the impact of global capitalism and the biopolitical model of the governance. The main aim is to seek out the possible strategies of resistance which enable humans to change their attitude to other species (Okja) and to ask a question about the scope of human freedom, the effects of our interference in the functioning of the biosphere (Snowpiercer) and the results of genetic modifications of animals.
