research into J. G. Ballard : "Ballard is cited as an important forebear of the cyberpunk movement by Bruce Sterling in his introduction to the seminal Mirrorshades anthology."-wikipedia
A series of twits on the William Gibson twitter from this week parallel my observations that we are living in a Gibson Novel. Of course the other twits are throwing out various authors. In my total ignorance of culture I am doing some research.
I never listened to Joy Division. I think I recall a t-shirt design that an old friend of mine would wear...
I am loath to do tunnel research during Mercury Retrograde, as it always serves to be too powerful and almost entirely destructive to any peace of mind. That is most likely an illusion. Peace of mind is obliterated by the natural life cycles and the research may actually be the only thing creating any coherence.
this seems relevant to anyone doing this research. Nonlinear narratives! http://www.holli.co.uk/atex/ch1.htm
