229 - Suburban Transpondency

Cyber Nineties, the last decade of the 20th Century, plagued
by Y2K bug hysteria and millennium paranoia, saw the
rise of internet culture and full media saturation. Lost in
the ecstasy of a weird wired world; people seemed to be mutating,
but into what? Flesh machines? Was it the end of all humanity or
just the dawn of a post-human cyberpunk dystopia?

Cyberpunk:


a genre of science fiction set in a lawless subculture of an
oppressive society dominated by computer technology.
