Love Paul Di Filippo’s definition of 80’s cyberpunk.
Theoretically seeking to merge the primitive vitality and anti-authoritarian disdain of the Sex Pistols and the Ramones with the noir sensibilities and digital savvy of some mythical California superman who possibly resembled a hybrid of Steve Jobs, Timothy Leary and Philip Marlowe, cyberpunk hewed to the standard revolutionary code of killing all elders who couldn’t be co-opted.
From, How To Write Science Fiction (A Maximalist And Recomplicated Travel Into Sci-Fi), by Paul Di Filippo
Thanks for your kind words and support! Happy writing!
Thanks for writing such a great book on science fiction! And for introducing me to Rudy Rucker. I downloaded his Ware trilogy after reading your book and LOVE it so far. 🙂
