Half cyberpunk anthology, half critical and philosophical discussion, all interesting.

Reading literary criticism from the early 90s about an 80's sci-fi movement may sound like omphaloskepsis, but as we (culturally) have moved into a thoroughly cyberpunk future it's an extremely useful lens through which to view concepts that have gone from high fiction to everyday interactions.

So far this book is an interesting look into cyberpunk and postmodern fiction and has a very detailed and cross media list of song, movies and books that have influenced the genre.

I thought I knew, but now I know. The "family tree" overview of influence is worth the pick-up. And I need to read Kathy Acker.
