I just checked for my copy of this and its missing. : (
Great book. I like seeing how expansive the original cyberpunk was. I love William Gibson (and Bladerunner) but modern cyberpunk is but a hollow shell of Gibson's aesthetic.
Can you go into more detail about why you think it is a hollow shell?
Cyberpunk in popular media tends to focus on and glamorize the aesthetic of early gibson novels without having anything interesting to say or explore.
