What's your definition of "cyberpunk"? Tim Send a noteboard - 18/04/2010 08:07:02 PM
I don't really know what people mean when they use that term, but if you tell me what you understand by it, I'll try to tell you whether the book matches it.

I feel there's definitely some anti-corporationism in there, but it's wildly exaggerated. *NM* - 19/04/2010 07:46:21 PM 272 Views
