NYTimes: The Evolution of Cyberpunk (1993)
Anyone else here interested in things cyberpunk?
- jraines 19y agoDamn, Neuromancer was good. Gibson created and transcended the genre in one book.
- wallflower 19y ago"3Jane answering in song, three notes, high and pure, A true name." Ever since I've read and re-read this book, this perplexes me. What was the true name?? Isn't it revealed like in Wizard of Earthsea..
- ivankirigin 19y agoMaybe three notes, like A, E, G, etc. ?
- bayareaguy 19y agoGibson, Sterling, Vinge, and later Stephenson each helped take the cyberpunk genre to a new level. That said I think John Brunner's "The Shockwave Rider" deserves more mention then it usually gets and I'm glad it appears in this article. Brunner wrote many good stories.
- manny 19y agoDoes anyone else here affiliate themselves with the cyberpunk movement? Is anyone here interested in cyberpunk ideas? Glossy fashion and role playing games allowed, I guess, but I'm more interested in people who actually code and have a little socio-political chip on their shoulder. ;p
