After the cyberpunk boom of the 1980s, Paul Di Filippo introduced a fresh vision with Ribofunk. Instead of circuits and steel, his stories dive into a world where biology replaces hardware, blending genetics, mutation, and raw imagination into speculative futures.

Within these tales, readers encounter sentient rivers, hybrid bodyguards, reckless adventurers, and even a chain-smoking Peter Rabbit leading rebellion. Di Filippo’s style fuses surreal humor with biotech nightmares, carving a unique space in post-cyberpunk literature.
