"And the irony here, and I say this as a fully paid up member of the Science Fiction Writers of America and science fiction novelist. The irony here is how many of these torment-nexus-building weirdos read cyberpunk as a suggestion instead of a warning, and defend what they're doing as carrying on the visionary tradition of science fiction. The first science fiction novel ever was Frankenstein, and it was a novel about why you shouldn't just build whatever goddamn machine you feel like!"
