I've been re-reading Simon Reynolds
Retromania (which is in and of itself somewhat ironic), and every time I revisit the text I find myself frantically scribbling more and more notes of referenced cultural artifacts I must explore further.
Having already claimed and framed the first-ever issue of
WIRED for my room of cyber-and-pirate culture, it seemed only logical that my next act be the securing of a copy of
Mondo 2000's A User's Guide to the New Edge: Cyberpunk, Virtual Reality, Wetware, Designer Aphrodisiacs, Artificial Life, Techno-Erotic Paganism, and More!
Promptly ordered a copy. I can't wait to read this!
