| The Cyberpunk Project The Cyberpunk Project (TCP) is a remotely avaliable data-well net of files about cyberpunk subculture, cyberpunk science-fiction and general cyberculture in the form of collected information. It is the result of years of gathering data and sorting it, to compile a host of cyberpunk-ifnormation related documents and work. The TCP started in 1996 and was actively supported until late 2002.This definition is from the Future Culture Manifesto: Cyberculture is a here-and-now reality that grew out of the science fiction movement of "cyberpunk". Look at the word "cyberpunk" -- broken down you have "cyber" and "punk" which roughly translates to people using technology and information in ways that deviate from the expected norms and mores and laws of society. | |

| Huxley, Hesse and The Cybernetic Society by Timothy Leary Whereas. It was twenty years ago today, 1967, L`ete d`amour, when Hesse was revered by college students as the Novelist of the Decade. A mega-sage, bigger than Tolkien or McLuhan or Bucky Fuller or even Kahil Gibran! In the '60s Hesse's mystical, utopian novels were read by millions. The popular electrically-amplified rock band "Steppenwolf" was named after Hesse's psyber-delic hero, Harry Haller, him who smoked loose "long, thin yellow . . . immeasurably enlivening and delightful" cigarettes and then zoomed around the Theatre of the Mind, ostensibly going where no fictional heroes had been before. Since Dante Alghieri, Coleridge, Rimbaud and Huxley, anyway. Continued on website link. | |
