forsythMaybe I missed it, but has anybody ever done anything even sorta like Cyberpunk, but in Fantasy? Magic can do the same kinds of things as tech, only even moreso, in some ways. And there's plenty of places to explore similar themes, and yes, I know about Steampunk, but it's not quite the same, much as I enjoy steampunk. Or is that all just rolled into Low Fantasy?
'cause, I was thinking, you know, we live in a world of magic, pretty much, these days. At least if you're reading this, you do. And what's one of the first uses most of the magic we've got has gotten put to use for? Sex. And power. But somehow I doubt the parts where Harry Potter finds the magically animated porn magazines the upperclassmen pass around is going to quite make it in any of the later books.
And I think that train of thought's completely gone off the rails, so enough for this entry.
