The term cyberpunk has become pretty common these days, and more recently, the term steampunk has been applied to a similar genre which usually mixes futuristic worlds with older technologies.
The term 'steampunk' was originally a slightly sarcastic derivation from 'cyberpunk'. Cyberpunk is a flavor of science fiction that is typically set in the near-future. The movie Bladerunner and Neal Stephenson's book Snowcrash are quintessentially cyberpunk.
