"Half cyberpunk anthology, half critical and philosophical discussion, all interesting.
Reading literary criticism from the early 90s about an 80's sci-fi movement may sound like omphaloskepsis, but as we (culturally) have moved into a thoroughly cyberpunk future it's an extremely useful lens through which to view concepts that have gone from high fiction to everyday interactions." — Jul 31, 2024 09:34AM

“Whatever is the lot of humankind
I want to taste within my deepest self.
I want to seize the highest and the lowest,
to load its woe and bliss upon my breast,
and thus expand my single self titanically
and in the end go down with all the rest.”
