Cyberprep

Cyberprep (a portmanteau word combining "cybernetics" and "preppie") is a term that refers to a sub-genre of science fiction or role-playing game campaign that reflects the flip side of cyberpunk.

A cyberprep world assumes that all the technological advancements of cyberpunk speculation have taken place but life is happy rather than gritty and dangerous. Since society is leisure-driven, uploading is more of an art form or a medium of entertainment while advanced body modifications are used for sports and pleasure.

Alternatively, within a cyberpunk world, a typical cyberprep character can be a techno-utopian yuppie living a self-indulgent life in a gated arcology available to a select few.

In the real world, a technosexual could be described either positively or negatively as a cyberprep.

Cyberprep fashion is clothing that combines aspects of haute couture with i-wear or even cyberware.

Cyberprep fashion is also a term used to refer to technosexual trends that reflect the flip side of cyberpunk fashion.
