This was the absolute best thing to wake up to this morning:
“Cyberpunk suggests, once again, that [science fiction] really can be about the world and not
just about the author’s mind. For me, the best thing about cyberpunk is that it taught me
how to enjoy shopping malls, which used to terrify me. Now I just pretend that the whole
thing is two miles below the moon’s surface, and that half the people’s right-brains have
been eaten by roboticized steel rats. And suddenly it’s interesting again.”
