Bart Nagel, R. U. Sirius & St. Jude 32 min read

A gleefully silly field guide to cyberpunk cool, how to talk, dress, and pose like a console cowboy, from the crew who made MONDO 2000 infamous.

St. Jude, R. U. Sirius, and Bart Nagel's 1995 book is a wickedly funny cyberpunk and social-SF parody. Sharp, irreverent, of its moment. Read it for a hilarious insider send-up of 1990s digital-underground culture, skewering the poses and jargon of the cyberpunk scene from the very heart of it.
