Rules of the game: science-fiction, polar and pop culture in ‘As the ghost of a jazzman in the Mir station deroute’ and ‘altered Carbon’

Abstract

Altered Carbon by Richard Morgan and Comme le fantôme d’un Jazzman dans la station Mir en déroute by Maurice G. Dantec play with the codes of two essential genres in pop culture, thrillers and science fiction novels, and renew these codes by combining them. This technique even spreads, beyond literature, to movies and music. The “Film noir” and cyberpunk, as source universes, become tools of representation, a real language. By mixing all these sources in an efficient way, both novels free themselves paradoxically from these restraints, establishing their own rules of the game.
