Book Description
The Cyberpunk Detective Series Continues to Thrill in NeuroDancer! Liquid Cool is the action-packed (and funny), debut cyberpunk detective series. Has Cruz met his supervillain match in NeuroDancer? Liquid Cool is a Blade Runner meets the Maltese Falcon. In the next installment of the sci-fi/cyberpunk detective series, author Austin Dragon goes from less frenetic cyberpunk to a smoother, cyber-noir with our hero, Cruz, matching wits with the sultry NeuroDancer. There is always plenty of gritty action, suspense, thrills, and even a few laughs. It’s the cyberpunk novel reimagined—an ever-rainy world of colossal skyscrapers, hover-cars, flashy neon streets, and futuristic mechanization. Metropolis isn’t a bad place, but it isn’t a good one either. Uber-governments and mega-corporations fight for control of the fifty-million-plus super-city, but so does crime. “Don’t hate me because I’m beautiful,” she said to him. He should have listened to his instincts when she strolled into his office to hire him. “I knew I wasn’t gonna touch this case with a 10-foot pole. It had danger written all over it, back and front.” But he did take the Case of the NeuroDancer. Is this the private eye story where the bad “guy” rides off into the sunset and the hero lies flat on his back waiting for the meat wagon to fly down in their hoverambulance. Which is crazier, indeed: the criminal—or the client? Welcome to the high-tech, low-life world of Liquid Cool.

The Medium Is the Monster
Author: Mark A. McCutcheon
Publisher: Athabasca University Press
ISBN: 1771992247
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
Technology, a word that emerged historically first to denote the study of any art or technique, has come, in modernity, to describe advanced machines, industrial systems, and media. McCutcheon argues that it is Mary Shelley’s 1818 novel Frankenstein that effectively reinvented the meaning of the word for modern English. It was then Marshall McLuhan’s media theory and its adaptations in Canadian popular culture that popularized, even globalized, a Frankensteinian sense of technology. The Medium Is the Monster shows how we cannot talk about technology—that human-made monstrosity—today without conjuring Frankenstein, thanks in large part to its Canadian adaptations by pop culture icons such as David Cronenberg, William Gibson, Margaret Atwood, and Deadmau5. In the unexpected connections illustrated by The Medium Is the Monster, McCutcheon brings a fresh approach to studying adaptations, popular culture, and technology.

“We’re going to break wide open the biggest caper in Metropolis history!” Liquid Cool: The Cyberpunk Detective Series Is Back with more laughs and even more action in A.I. Confidential! The biggest caper in the supercity’s history? Cruz has tangled with some of the most dangerous, cunning, and sinister villains around—Blade Gunner, NeuroDancer, Mr. Viper, The Ripper, the “Alien”. But this case is even bigger? If Liquid Cool is Blade Runner meets the Maltese Falcon, then this novel is much more on the noir side than any other (call it cyber-noir or sci-fi noir). Bright neon, sharp shadows, thugs in fedoras, laser guns at the ready, and bloody discarded bodies in alleys. You don’t see this kind of gritty action, suspense, thrills, and even laughs in any “normal” science fiction. But this is Liquid Cool. ”We’re on the case!” he says. And you get to tag along with Cruz and company through the ever-rainy world of mega-skyscrapers, hovercars, and futuristic tech. This case introduces our hero detective, Cruz, to a threat he has never dealt with before—killer androids! Welcome to the high-tech, low-life world of Liquid Cool.

Escape Velocity
Author: Mark Dery
Publisher: Open Road + Grove/Atlantic
ISBN: 0802196500
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 552
Book Description
“Without a doubt the best guide I have read to the new computer culture . . . witty and provocative . . . sane and thoughtful” (J. G. Ballard). “A lively compendium of dispatches from the far reaches of today’s computer savvy avant-garde”, Escape Velocity explores the dawn of the Information Age, and the high-tech subcultures that celebrated, critiqued, and gave birth to our wired world and a counterculture digital underground (The New York Times Book Review). Poised between technological rapture and social rupture, Escape Velocity poses the fundamental question of our time: Is technology liberating or enslaving us in the twenty-first century? Mark Dery takes us on an electrifying tour of the high-tech underground. Investigating the shadowy byways of cyberculture, we meet would-be cyborgs who believe the body is obsolete and dream of downloading their minds into computers, cyberhippies who boost their brainpower with smart drugs and mind machines, techno-primitives who sport “biomechanical” tattoos of computer circuitry, and cyberpunk roboticists whose dystopian contraptions duel to the death before howling crowds. “Re-prov[ing] Dery an astute and trustworthy patrolman of the cultural and social borderland between science fiction and non-fiction”, Escape Velocity stands alone as the first truly critical inquiry into cyberculture (Wired). Shifting the focus of our conversation about technology from the corridors of power to disparate voices on the cultural fringes, Dery wires it into the power politics and social issues of the moment. It is essential reading for everyone interested in computer culture and the shape of things to come.
