Cyberpunk is the most prophetic literary genre humanity has ever produced.
Self-fulfilling perhaps. It would seem that while most of us read them as cautionary, some of us read them as a blueprint, and that is what we are now living through.
Gotta build that Torment Nexus to please shareholders.
Snowcrash was a dystopic warning not a plan.
Rich assholes think it was a dreamworld.
Which book is that?
William Gibson for sure. Johnny Mnemonic...I think.
Genesis P-Orridge of seminal industrial group Throbbing Gristle did something similar:
[P-Orridge] married Jacqueline Breyer, later known as Lady Jaye, in 1995, and together they embarked on the Pandrogeny Project, an attempt to unite as a "pandrogyne", or single entity, through the use of surgical body modification to physically resemble one another. P-Orridge continued with this project of body modification after Lady Jaye's 2007 death.
