A question

[forsyth]

Man, whatever happened to cyberpunk? Did it just die out when the future didn't turn out its way? Or did it die out because parts of the future turned out too MUCH its way?

Neal Stephenson just started writing historical fiction and that was that. Then Sterling was like, "ah'll akill yew" and Rucker was like, "I stopped doing drugs apparently" and nobody saw Gibson for weeks and everyone thought he was dead until he came back and said he was on vacation but forgot to tell people about it and then Sterling started shouting and stabbing in all directions. Then Cory Doctorow crashed the place and spiked the punch with cheap Soviet vodka.

That's what they do at author parties I think.

Man. That totally reminds me of the /. interview with either Sterling, Gibson, or Stepahnson, where they talked about their ancient kung fu vendetta with one of the other two. I should dig that up, but I'm going to bed.
