No, that's not what I meant to do.

Hey, great website and story! We have perhaps the original cyberpunk auther as a freeper, cool! I didnt mean to imply thats what you guys or the early cyberpunkers meant to do, but I see it being used that way more and more (cyber-fantasy would probably be a better name for it). I am in the process actually of re-reading Neuromancer again after almost 20 years. I sometimes find a rereading of a book having a different effect on me as an older man. (I recently re-read Enders Game, and was quite touched by it, perhaps because I have a small son of my own..).

Thanks. I'm disappointed with what the c-word has come to mean, but I suppose it was the ineveitable result of cross-pollinating contemporary sci-fi with Japanese animation. As a writer it's so much easier to invoke magic than to actually figure out why something can (or can't) work the way you want it to.
