Cyberpunks

Cyberpunks Timothy Leary‘s essay entitled “The Cyberpunk: The Individual as Reality Pilot” first appeared in Chaos and Cyber Culture in 1994. Leary defines cyberpunks as “Cyberpunks use all available data-input to think for themselves.” He writes about “the cyberperson, cybertech and cyberpolitics.” The cyberperson is the one who pilots his/her own life. They continually search for theories, models, paradigms, metaphors, etc. Leary says cybertech refers to the tools, appliances and methodologies of knowing and communicating. He also says Cyberpolitics introduces the use of language and linguistic-tech by the ruling classes in feudal and industrial societies to control children, the uneducated, and leary, cyberpunks, about, writes, think, themselves, says, refers, data-input, cybertech, cyberpunk, cyberpolitics, cyberperson, control, available, word, war, uneducated, underclass, twain, touches, tools, timothy, theories, technology, societies, signal, self, search, rusty, rust, ruling, role, relationship, reality, quantum-electronic
