This article explores the poetics of fantastic characters in the works of William Gibson and Neal Stephenson—two key figures in the development of cyberpunk and post-cyberpunk science fiction. Through a comparative literary analysis, the study identifies the structural, semantic, and symbolic features of their character construction, with emphasis on the cultural, philosophical, and technological contexts that inform the fictional worlds of their novels. Special attention is given to Gibson’s Neuromancer and Stephenson’s Snow Crash, where, fantastic characters act as mediators between human and post-human realities. The article argues that both authors use fantastical elements not only to construct speculative futures, but also to challenge existing narratives of identity, agency, and embodiment in the digital age.
