26 viewsThe crowd-river flowed out into a kind of circle, a place where four streets met and swung around a fountain.And because Mona really wasn't headed anywhere, she wound up there, because the people around her peeled off in their different directions without stopping.Well, there were people in the circle too, some of them sitting on the cracked concrete that edged the fountain.There was a statue in the center, marble, all worn-out and soft-edged.

She took off her goggles, and Korolev saw her eyes brimming over with a wonderful lunacy."Well," said Andy, rattling his toolbelt, "you feel like showing us around?" Cyberpunk is a science fiction genre noted for its focus on "high tech and low life".[1] The name is a portmanteau of cybernetics and punk and was originally coined by Bruce Bethke as the title of his short story "Cyberpunk", published in 1983.[2] It features advanced science, such as information technology and cybernetics, coupled with a degree of breakdown or radical change in the social order.[3] Cyberpunk plots often center on a conflict among hackers, artificial intelligences, and megacorporations, and tend to be set in a near-future Earth, rather than the far-future settings or galactic vistas found in novels such as Isaac Asimov's Foundation or Frank Herbert's Dune.[4] The settings are usually post-industrial dystopias but tend to be marked by extraordinary cultural ferment and the use of technology in ways never anticipated by its creators ("the street finds its own uses for things").[5] Much of the genre's atmosphere echoes film noir, and written works in the genre often use techniques from detective fiction.[6] William Gibson's Sprawl trilogy novels are famous early cyberpunk novels."Classic cyberpunk characters were marginalized, alienated loners who lived on the edge of society in generally dystopic futures where daily life was impacted by rapid technological change, an ubiquitous datasphere of computerized information, and invasive modification of the human body." - Lawrence Person[7] I put the shotgun in an Adidas bag and padded it out with four pairs of tennis socks, not my style at all, but that was what I was aiming for: If they think you're crude, go technical; if they think you're technical, go crude.I'm a very technical boy.

True , Angie thought, though a week of it did cost something in the vicinity of your annual salary ."I suppose I began to resent paying to feel normal.Or a poor approximation of normal." "Did you build up a tolerance?" "No." "How odd." "Not really.
