Discussion of Literary and
Artistic Responses to Postindustrialism
What did you think of Neuromancer (and
cyberpunk fiction)?
What didn't work for you, or bothered
you?
What was good about the novel?
Is the novel "cool"?
What do you think of viral art?
If you were a serious creative writer or artist
interested in responding artistically to the
world of postindustrial information technology,
how might you go about it?
