[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 1041455, member: 2205"] It may not be very compelling, but hopefully you'll understand if I find it more compelling than "some guy on the Internet." The people I've talked to and read are the people who do this for a living; Engligh lit folks who wrote dissertations on the subject and the like, or authors who write science fiction for a living. And I'm not just talking secondary sources either; the heyday of cyberpunk was during my heyday in terms of time and inclination to read just about anything I could get put in front of me. I've read quite a fair amount of cyberpunk, including the works that are considered seminal for the genre, with an eye for what makes it unique as a genre. [b][/B] :) Yes, you did post your take, but I didn't see how it contradicted anything I said. In fact, obviously I agree 100% with what I said, but I can say I agree 100% with what you said too, and I don't find them incompatible. That's why I wonder why and how you disagree with me. But, if you'd rather do so via e-mail, that's fine too. [/QUOTE]
