  1. Re:Why do you have to call it "post" cyberpunk? on Notes Toward a Postcyberpunk Manifesto · · Score: 1

    Its the same death knell given to any number of movements..

    I'm still puzzling over the "post-modern" to.. It may be my primitive interpretation but "modern" to me seems to me to relate to the present so post-modern would be some where in the future.

    I think the major difference would be not in the movement its self, but its audience, it has moved from a niche genre ( loosly defined.. ) to a vehicle in which to market gizmos to the masses ( washed or not ). So i think it could be called cyber yuppie instead of being defined in pre/post terms. The punk is gone.the mechanics remain the same.

    its now almost as much a status thing in the 90's to have a palm pilot as it was to have a bmw in the 80's.
