WEDNESDAY, August 21st at 7PM: A CYBERPUNK SUMMER Concludes

One More Adventure! . . .


. . . into the shady recesses of Cyberpunk, where low-life and hi-tech combine and collide, and everything generally seems to be going to heck-in-a-cyborg's-handbasket. Yet through these rusted and rusting recesses, a glimmer of hope still lingers, waiting. At least, we THINK it's hope!

Finn Zeddmore concludes her series of journeys into the realms of Cyberpunk, through short stories.

WEDNESDAY, August 14th at 7pm: CYBERPUNK SUMMER Continues

More adventures await! . . .


Cyberpunk is a subgenre of science fiction in a futuristic setting that tends to focus on a "combination of lowlife and high tech" featuring advanced technological and scientific achievements, such as artificial intelligence and cybernetics, juxtaposed with a degree of breakdown or radical change in the social order. Much of cyberpunk is rooted in the New Wave science fiction movement of the 1960s and 1970s, when writers like Philip K. Dick, Roger Zelazny, John Brunner, J. G. Ballard, Philip José Farmer and Harlan Ellison examined the impact of drug culture, technology, and the sexual revolution while avoiding the utopian tendencies of earlier science fiction.
