Sergio Salvador is a PhD Candidate in English Studies at the Universidad de Zaragoza, where he is completing his doctoral thesis, Wired for Inequality, under the supervision of Prof. Francisco Collado-Rodríguez and Dr. María Ferrández San Miguel. His research approaches cyberpunk as a form of narrative prolepsis, anticipating and analysing the technological, social, and economic futures we are already inhabiting. Drawing on his decades of experience in technology and digital companies, he examines how the genre’s enduring motifs (techno-orientalism, societal inequality, corporate power, and ecological collapse) illuminate the present moment. He has presented his work at international conferences including the Darkness in the American Imagination (PopMeC) and the SEING symposia at the University of Zaragoza.
Alongside his doctoral research, Sergio serves as an Adjunct Lecturer of Communications and Negotiation at Nanyang Business School, Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore.
He combines his academic trajectory with over two decades of international professional experience across six countries, two continents, and technology organisations like Google, EA, and Nokia, as well as consulting companies such as Egon Zehnder, and EY, working at the intersection of technology transformation, human capital, organisational strategy, and artificial intelligence.
He will defend his doctoral thesis in June 2026.
