NoFreeWill posted:have you read neuromancer and snow crash? i got into cyberpunk a few years back because of exposure to shitty cyberpunk like The Matrix, and the original books are really cool. that specific technology detail isn't that important to the genre adn their's tons of stuff about surveillance in the genre.
i read snow crash a little while ago. maybe i will go back to it. the thing i found difficult to enjoy about cyberpunk is the individualist fantasy of the protagonists.
maybe the true cyberpunk is wall-e where our apps do everything for us and humanity has become fat babies (i have never seen wall-e)

ew. this is gross. humanity isnt a great mass, its people.
no it's a kind of doughy goo actually
humanity is lots of people arguing and laughing and eating and fucking and fighting and talking and getting excited and getting bored and being born and dying and trying to get by
also humanity made pizza and rap music

A dead subgenre of science fiction.

Neal Stephenson is horrible. I tried reading one of his books that was set in the 17th century and there's a scene where a guy with syphilis has a hallucination that he's in a modern musical.

lol wut

thank you.
deadken posted:Some women, Commander Norton had decided long ago, should not be allowed aboard ship; weightlessness did things to their breasts that were too damn distracting. It was bad enough when they were motionless; but when they started to move, and sympathetic vibrations set in, it was more than any warm-blooded male should be asked to take. He was quite sure that at least one serious space accident had been caused by acute crew distraction, after the transit of an unholstered lady officer through the control cabin.

edit sorry. not rape. now i remember correctly that he kidnaps her, a teenage pizza delivery girl, takes her to his lair, then has brief (but obviously very satisfying) consensual sex with her.
