Another Example Of Futuristic Magic Realism

This is another book I'll shall refer to that while it has a kind of science fiction skin, it has more in common with magic realism or surrealism than Hard Scifi or even Soft Science Fiction.
Now compare this with this book:
  And you'll see Magnet Girl Wireless has more in common with 100 years of solitude, Wind Up Bird Chronicle, or my own book Beyond The Dreamer's Edge. Then say with Neuromancer, which isn't magic realism in any sense.

Blue Library, a novel of "New Youth Song"

This is a hybrid novella of Surrealism and Cyberpunk fiction, with elements of reincarnation in a world that otherwise establishes New Future possibilities of the next few years: Pacifica becoming a nation, a vast expansive surveillance network that uses "Public Library" functionality that makes surveillance irrelevant by public access, and a rogue "abduction team" that kidnaps those open to reincarnation by night.

I also want to network with other writers, that utilize some of the elements of Street Hacking in an otherwise surrealistic and magical realistic narrative of storytelling.

Cyberpunk And The "New Magic Realism"

Cyberpunk was a subset of New Wave Science Fiction that came about during the 1980s when corporate dominance and Japan taking over the technological side of things was a rampant fear. It spawned various novels by well known writers.

My personal favorite is William Gibson, though the term itself was originally created in 1980.

In my subset of Magic Realism, I seek to blend the surrealistic elements of the Cyberpunk genre, and using some elements of "street hacking" in the same setting where elements of theology and mythology blend into an otherwise realistic and "contemporary" setting.

Rather than calling it "Magic Realism Punk" or whatever Punk shit you kids seem to be pumping out like a machine these days, I prefer to think of it as a subset without a specific marketing label.

You have various Magic Realism writers in the Literary Fiction community on Wattpad that write Dystopian settings with elements of Magic Realism. While these books don't contain "street hacking" or "the street finds its own uses for things", it contains many of the elements of a darkly futuristic world with elements of Magic Realism.

An example of "Street Hacking": An individual discovering that tobacco is extremely expensive in pre rolled cigarettes. They find that the established alternate can be just as expensive in some places, maybe a dollar less. So they instead buy roll your own papers, and dismantle cigarillos and roll the loose tobacco.

Such innovative uses by the individual are used to subvert Totalitarian establishments in a world where elements of theology and mythology are simply taken for granted.

I call this "New Youth Song."

Magic Realism

Magic Realism is a subset of Literary Fiction that explores elements of mythology and theology, as well as lightly magical elements as a natural part of our own world rather than as a secondary law of physics that needs explanation in secondary world settings.

By contrast, Magic Realism in painting was closer to the idea of "Social Science Fiction" reducing magic down to the barest minimum, and focuses on political critique of their times. Some say that Magic Realism was influenced by Surrealism, but rather Magic Realism painting came before the birth of the Surrealism movement.

This was around the same era as Dadaist.

Next, I will go into my subset, and the future of my style of fiction writing, as I explore how to blend Cyberpunk with Magic Realism.
