Non course material cyberpunk related videos
Go back to: General discussion
I've been coming across quite a bit of stuff while looking for material & found some old bookmarks as well, so here's a video dump thread for some of it.
First up is the 1990 documentary 'Cyberpunk', which heavily features footage from an interview with William Gibson who informs us among other things of the fact that his computer does not look like a stealth bomber with the serial numbers filed off, and that he thought computers ran on cristals, classic stuff.
More info on the docu can be found here: http://www.streettech.com/bcp/BCPgraf/Media/cyberpunk-docu.htm

(No idea why it's showing up so small....)
Next is the 'Metamorphisis' episode of the Canadian show 'Prisoners of Gravity', which I had never heard of up till a few days ago. But it features a short interview with Bruce Sterling, much younger than most of us are used to seeing him and on a more amusing hair day. He comments shortly on body modification and the transition to post-humanity. But the show is mostly fun for the utter 90's-ness of it all.
Cyberpunk & Post-Cyberpunk - James Patrick Kelly & John Kessel
Part 1 is a brief talk on Cyberpunk, listing a bunch of authors and some interesting facts around the genre.
Part 2 is Q&A, some questions suck but a lot of good stuff comes out of it as well.
