This book is about designing Chaos and fashioning your personal disorders: on screens - with cybernetic tools - from countercultural perspectives - with informational chemicals (Chaos drugs) - while delighting in cyberotics - as guerrilla artists - who explore de-animation alternatives - while surfing the waves of millennium madness to glimpse the glorious wild impossibilities and improbabilities of the century to come. Enjoy it! It's ours to be played with.:-D Timothy Leary
Yes, he's back. At 72, the ex-Harvard professor who encouraged a generation to 'turn on, tune in, and drop out' now counts himself as a cyberpunk. 'The PC is the LSD of the 1990s,' he says."
