>What is cyberpunk? Cyberpunk is a genre of science fiction set in a lawless subculture of an oppressive society dominated by computer technology.
>tracerneo.eu.org/cyb/textfiles/ Dead. Try http with no "s", though, and you get something. However not using https is rather dire when the topic is cyberpunk. Is anything new there? Files seem old.

sorry pal, we here like progress and things that have a future
Andrew Jackson
yes, because if I'm not a mindless consumertard I'm automatically a communist
Nathan Gray
user, we both know you just hate people who have the money to consume things. otherwise you wouldn't give the slightest shit about what other people spend their money on.
Hunter Gonzalez
sure if you say so
that's some universal logic you're intelligently presenting there. It can be applied to anything really so I can't argue with it

Bumping with a movie recommendation, The Machine (2013), a combo I don't see in Hollywood these days.
anyone notice the subtle cyberpunk overtones in the megaman battle network series?
>jack in/jack out >physical body merging with cyberspace, action in cyberspace have effect on body >AI concept is main plotpoint as well as dangerous of fully autonomous AI >slotting in software >different levels of internet space (surface, deep etc) >BBS, infotrades, web based worldwide currency >human consciousness transferred into program construct Amazing how many subtle overlaps this game has.
Jeremiah Lopez
Yup, made me want to play the game again. I can totally see this as a universe separate from megaman.
I mean, the writer(s) is a visionary and a total madman. The merging cyber/real world in the second game was dope.

Michael Watson
Don't worry user. That was exactly my first experience reading it but once I got into the second and third books and started diving into Gibson's universe I found the trilogy to be fascinating. Gibson's attention to setting and detail is unlike any fiction I have read before.
I can try to clarify if you have questions that you want answered (without spoiling I hope).

>I mean, the writer(s) is a visionary and a total madman Indeed. If I ever met the writer(s) I would be curious to ask about their source of inspiration at the time. BN was an interesting derivative and was a game series that cemented my interest in technology at an earlier age.
