I'm aware of cybergrind, that's about it.

I gave up on cyberpunk as soon as I saw a photo of William Gibson.

i am taking a course in literature called ghostwriting that deals ith ghosts in literature. i am supposed to write a seminar paper in it and i have decided to write about cyberpunk. i do not have that much knowledge in the field, i have read a few PKD books and seen videodrome and stuff like that. i am about to read neuromancer, but i am welcoming any advice in the field. you people seem to know a lot about it so any advice will be much obliged.

Did you give up on fantasy as soon as you saw a photo of J.R.R.Tolkien?

 

Savage Clone 01.03.2010 01:48 PM

At least Tolkien isn't wearing pleated khakis.

I would really like to know what William Gibson had to look like for demonrail666 not to give up on cyberpunk.

Maybe if William Gibson looked like this?

 

_slavo_ 01.03.2010 03:35 PM

At least I can declare P.K.Dick as one cool looking motherfucker:

He looks like a geography teacher.

Toilet & Bowels 01.03.2010 03:54 PM

that's true, yes.

Demonrail666 is fucking retarded if he gives up on literary genres over what the authors look like.

I suppose deep down I sort of wanted him to look a bit like this:

 

shabbray2.0 09.26.2010 05:46 AM

reading spook country by gibson at the time, and hell how I enjoy it.
only minor cyberpunkish by the way. but I still enjoy him.

anybody read zero history, the 2010 book by him?

space 09.26.2010 02:22 PM

reading Burning Chrome for the Nth time.

each Gibson book is my favorite as I'm reading it.
