The Definition of a CyberPunk Orgasm

[trickykitty]

I just finished reading the short story Burning Chrome by William Gibson. It was originally published in 1982. Imagine the Blade Runner cityscape, the Hackers graphical sequences representing hacking into the digital fortress, and Strange Days vitual reality addiction all rolled up into a little ball with a dash of literary time travel and corporate laser-stenciled body parts thrown in for good measure.

1 short story down, 12 more to go. Hackers Unite.

I liked Johnny Mnemonic best, myself. I try to play Dervish like him to a certain degree...

Amazingly enough, I have yet to see Johnny Mnemonic. Have attempted many times, but always ended up doing/watching something else.

Actually, I've never seen the flick either, heard it was awful :p I believe the original story is in Burning Chrome...

Actually if you ignore the presence of Dolph Lungren as "The Preacher" and the fact that the ultimate hacker in the story is a government enhanced dolphin the movie as a whole is actually a damned good Cyberpunk flick.

Personally, though its relatively B-Movie grade, my favorite Cyberpunk movie is Nemesis starring Alex Gruner. What kills me is I can't find a copy of it anywhere. Sucks.

Where's Waldo?

I spy a number 7.

[anonymosaurus.livejournal.com]

Yeah...putting sevens in binary is fun.

01101110 01101001 01101011 01101011 01101001 00100000 01101001 01110011 00100000 01110011 01101111 00100000 01101000 01101111 01110100
is the important part.
