   Fuck, I'm gonna have to do a shit-ton of research on the cyberpunk project database on the 90s subculture and history of cyberpunk to properly inform my own writing... I mean I dont have to, but I feel like I do. And also, I'm gonna have to take notes, bc my brain fog has been bad lately and otherwise it'll fall out of my brain. And then I have to write this essay, and make it feel as real and authentic as it does to me internally... Honestly, I'm overwhelmed. I would be on the best of days but lately I've been in one of those exhausted and mentally fatigued cycles so it's even worse. Plus, I feel guilty for not working on it and yet I feel too sick and exhausted and foggy to actually work on it.

   I could restart that essay on egoism by way of 20th century continental and analytic philosophy, but I don't feel well enough (or fresh enough on The Unique) to do that justice either, I feel like I wouldn't argue my case tightly enough to serve my purposes. It's frustrating.

     @bluejorts I do everything alone, its just how I roll. (Pained smile). This kind of essay writing is very personal for me too, it needs to all be a product of my understanding and intention to feel right. Thanks for asking thought

     @anarchopunk_girl i gotchu. i'm doing the same thing with my gamedev/music stuff. it's all deeply narrative, and it has to be right so I can be understood (whatever that means).

     anywho, if I end up doing a 90s cyberpunk zine mag style thingy, i shall send over and you can take from it whatever you wish.

     @weaselx86 ah, yes! It's on my reading list, but it might be awhile before I'm able to get to it. I am aware of it though, thanks to the timeline in the history section of the cyberpunk archive on http://project.cyberpunk.ru/idb/index.html

     Predating Neuromancer, I would offer that "The Shockwave Rider" by John Brunner (1975) was proto-cyberpunk.

     "...is notable for its hero's use of computer hacking skills to escape pursuit in a dystopian future, and for the coining of the word "worm" to describe a program that propagates itself through a computer network."
