Why, the important appointment is right here, Mr. Reflections-on-culture-from-an-anti-establishment-post-cyberpunk-worldview.

"Reflections." "Cyberpunk." Uh-huh. One immediately thinks of Johnny Rotten and Johnny Silverhand quarreling through pissy tweets on X, perhaps one moderated by Our Man Musk himself.

I always considered the devotees of the "cyberpunk" genre to be an uneasy admixture of thick New Age fundamentalists and borderline sexual deviants who are also hardcore Trekkies. True? Yes? No?

Go read you the bridge trilogy, or maybe The Peripheral. Then get back to us after you've got a clue re: cyberpunk? And realize Gibbons wrote Neuromancer, the first SF novel in what later would be called the "cyberpunk" genre on a manual typewriter & before ever owning a computer.

Or just keep slanging ineffectively. Kirk is my Captain but I've never gone to a convention. "New Age" spiritualism is a sadly human thing, a security blanket against the scary realities of a largely uncaring and unresponsive universe (so are nearly all present mainstream religious belief systems if you get to know them).

As far as sexual deviance, that's no fun at "borderline", anything worth doing is worth OVERdoing! Wallow in it!! USE THE WHOLE DAMN CHICKEN, NOT JUST A FEATHER!!!
