Cyberpunk
Out of the blue, I was contacted by the guy who runs the Just Enough Trope podcast on Facebook DM. He wanted to ask me whether or not I thought a podcast devoted to cyberpunk was viable. I didn't say, but I could have, "Dude, I am currently listening to an Academic podcast about the Emperors of Rome, so I mean, probably? People will listen to almost anybody talk about anything." What I said instead was something far more true and professional which was, yeah, why wouldn't they? I ended up asking him what his hesitation was, why he was looking for advice. He said a bunch of reasonable things, but then threw in, "Also, I don't have a co-host."
So, of course I wrote back to say, "Well, you didn't ask, but how about me?"
He was shocked I was available and we are now writing a f*ck ton of notes for show ideas. Even if nothing else comes of this, I am having an absolute blast thinking about cyberpunk-y things again.
In fact, I was just glancing through my book collection wondering where all my cyberpunk books went. I swear I had more than what I found. Also, I may have stopped reading cyberpunk in the 1990s and so I am woefully behind on the genre. Do any of you read cyberpunk regularly? If so, what are you reading? What's a book old or new that you'd recommend we know about--and yes, you can list one of William Gibson's. I'm just collecting all the info right now, so even if you think, "Ah, surely she's read this," please add it, anyway. Like, I haven't read Noor by Nnedi Okorafor, should I? Anyone else?
