Cyberpunk

"High tech, low life."

"The street finds its own uses for things."

We all know the quotes and the books. But cyberpunk is more than a neon-soaked, cybernetic aesthetic, or a gritty dystopian science fiction genre. It is a subculture composed of two fundamental ideas: PUNK, and CYBER.

The PUNK: antiauthoritarian, anticapitalist, radical freedom of expression, rejection of tradition, a DIY ethic.

The CYBER: all that, but high-fuckin'-tech, ya feel? From DIYing body mods to using bleeding edge software to subvert corporate interests. It's punk for the 22nd century.

This is a community dedicated to discussing anything cyberpunk, be it books, movies, or other art that falls into the genre, or real life tech, projects, stories, ideas or anything else that adheres to these ideals. It's a place for 'punks from all over the federated Net to hang out and swap stories and meaningful content (not just pictures of city nightscapes).

Welcome in, choom.

Facebook's propaganda posters have long been legendary for their cool design, bold typography

It's just red letters on white paper. Calm down, author...

I really wish I could collaborate with this minister of propaganda in a value-added operationalizing project so that we could synergize while we think out of the box until we circle back later to unpack the value propositions.

Take it to the highest level of kitsch: small framed pictures on the wall of Mark in every room.
