Journal eno2001's Journal: THE 90s: Cyberpunk 3
I'll have to go dig around in my basement, but I believe I still have a copy or two of the seminal 90s cyberpunk magazine: Mondo 2000. Funny thing is that I'd actually forgotten about this magazine and the fact that I bought a few issues a little over a decade ago until I started reading about Jaron Lanier this morning. Back then, I was into "smart drugs", "smart food" and basically finding any way to augment my abilities. I wanted to be able to sleep less (less than the already short 4-6 hours I already sleep), think harder and generally find a way to persue perfection. Considering my neo-hippy aspirations at the time, I can see why this magazine resonated with me well. I also bought 2600 around this time too, so I'm sure some CIA or FBI file somewhere has me down as a counterculture, druggie revolutionary. Funny thing is... outside of experiments with pot and alcohol in my late teens, I've never done any illegal substances since.
I haven't actually changed that much either as my recent experimentation with the Yogic practice Jala Neti exhibits. Things are going swimmingly with Jala Neti BTW... thanks for asking.

My Guitar player of many years was half of "Mondo Vanilli".
The really interesting stuff I first saw was called "High Frontiers." This mutated into "Reality Hackers" and then "Mondo 2000".
We musta been on fairly parallel tracks... Are Durk Pearson and Sndy still alive?
