Spiritpunk
A genre that focuses on the juxtaposition of the material world and the spiritual world. It mainly illustrates enlightenment, esoteric technology, spiritual intelligence, and deification.
Sometimes, it can take place in a dystopian future where the soul is being exploited in a malignant way within the material world, which will make humans transcend beyond their physical and mental capacity to become emanations of divinity. Or, it can even take place in an optimistic future within the spiritual world where enlightened beings named Bodhisattvas delay their salvation to Nirvana due to their compassion for suffering humans so that they can help them obtain moksha in order to escape the material world and guide them towards true freedom from the cycle of Samsara.

"The Spiritpunk genre has an oriental style to it mixed with ancient mythology from eastern cultures."
"The very theme of Spiritpunk can also be seen as the answer to cyberpunk, as it focuses on the significance of the soul, rather than materialistic and technological attachments."
