________________________________________________________________________________ / So we get to my point. Surely people around here read things that \ | aren't on the *Officially Sanctioned Cyberpunk Reading List*. Surely we | | don't (any of us) really believe that there is some big, deep political and | | philosophical message in all this, do we? So if this `cyberpunk' thing is | | just a term of convenience, how can somebody sell out? If cyberpunk is just a | | word we use to describe a particular style and imagery in sf, how can it be | | dead? Where are the profound statements that the `Movement' is or was trying | | to make? | | I think most of us are interested in examining and discussing literary | | (and musical) works that possess a certain stylistic excellence and perhaps a | | rather extreme perspective; this is what CP is all about, no? Maybe there | | should be a newsgroup like, say, alt.postmodern or something. Something less | | restrictive in scope than alt.cyberpunk. | \ -- Jeff G.
