This article will focus mainly on cyberpunk culture, rave culture, industrial, post po-mo, virtual reality, drugs, computer underground, etc. Basically, the elements that make up the developing techno-underground, the new edge, the technoculture. Included in this article will be: suggested readings -- books, magazines, zines, requisite authors, etc., BBSes devoted to relevant topics, corporations and merchandise geared toward the techno-aware, Internet e-mail addresses for relevant figure-heads in this area, suggested music and movies/videos, FTP sites, etc. I will do my best to update this article every so often, as the techno-underground is not stagnant and is always shifting and changing and moving forward.

This art-work contains engravings by Ashbaugh which appear or disappear in light and an on-disk semi-autobiographical poem by [William Gibson] which is unreadable after having been read once. Agrippa is notable because in many respects it blurs the lines about what art is, and adds fuel to the fire on issues of property rights and intellectual property. BBSes - electronic Bulletin Board Systems. Begun in the late 70's, a form of [virtual community] existing in [cyberspace] where participants (usually using aliases) may send and receive public and private messages to each other on any topic imaginable, transfer software (copyrighted and/or public domain), play on-line games, etc. There is the "over-ground" BBS world where aliases are less common and illegal activities are avoided in discussion, and the [{computer} underground] where illegal activities and discussions are very common, members use aliases, and illegal information and/or software is exchanged. Boxing - A variety of electronic devices used to aid in [phreaking]. The original was the blue box, used from the mid 60's to the mid 80's, which allowed long distance phone calls to be made for free. A variety of other similar instruments accomplishing different tasks have been developed, some purely comical, some quite practical. CC fraud - Credit Card or Calling Card fraud. common in the [computer underground] community. Chaos Theory - science revolving around simplistic equations involving a large number of variables. Gave rise to [fractals], a form of [cyberdelic] art. For further info on the subject, James Gleick's "Chaos: Making a New Science" is suggested. Computer Underground - "A group organized in secrecy, hidden behind aliases, to promote the free exchange of information regarding anything and everything including, but not limited to: computers, telephones, radios, chemicals, and ideas." (thanx to The Butler for this definition) The mainstay of communication for the computer underground is [cyberspace], more specifically [BBSes]. The computer underground is comprised of [hackers], [phreakers], [piraters], anarchists, and other [cyberpunks]. CP - see [cyberpunk]. Cryonics - The fringe science of freezing a person's head or whole body after death, in the hopes that in the future they may be revived and brought back to life. Cyber- - A prefix taken from [cybernetics] generally used in popular culture to mean anything that is technologically oriented. Cyberdeck - Term originated by [William Gibson] to refer to a computer used by [deck cowboys] that can connect to the [matrix]. Cyberdelic - "Cyber-art". Examples include [fractals], computer-generated pictures and/or music, [virtual worlds], etc. Cybernetics - The study of communication systems in living organisms and machines, the mathematical analysis of the flow of information. Cyberpunk - Begun as a literary movement in the 80's, an off-shoot of normal science fiction. Unique in that it generally occurs in the present or not so distant future, the characters are often considered "punks" and technology, (the cyber aspect), is prominent. "Neuromancer" by [William Gibson], published in 1984, is considered by most to be the "bible" of cyberpunk. Another prominent author is [Bruce Sterling], editor of another worthy cyberpunk collection, "Mirrorshades". Other examples of cyberpunk include Max Headroom (tv show) and Blade Runner (movie). Cyberpunk is special in that it has evolved from a purely literary movement to a realistic subculture. Many "techno-punks" (ie: [hackers]) are considered cyberpunks. Other contributing factors to the cyberpunk subculture include: virtual reality, hallucinogenic and [nootropic] drugs, and industrial and punk music. For an in-depth, detailed look at cyberpunk fiction and cyberpunk culture, "Storming the Reality Studio", ed. by Larry McCaffery is suggested. Cyberspace - "The electronic frontier." A completely virtual environment: the sum total of all [BBSes], computer networks, and other [virtual communities]. Unique in that it is constantly being changed, exists only virtually, can be practically infinite in "size", communication occurs instantaneously world-wide - physical location is completely irrelevant most of the time. Deck Cowboys - Futuristic version of a computer [hacker] or a modern-day [cyberpunk]. Electronic Frontier Foundation - (EFF). Organization founded by Mitch Kapor (of Lotus fame) and John Perry Barlow (writer and Grateful Dead songwriter) to establish laws for [cyberspace] and apply the constitution to [virtual communities]. Fractals - Images created using [chaos theory]. A mish-mash of colors presented in a pattern that repeats itself many times over. A popular type of fractal image is one created using the "Mandlebrot set". Fractals are considered [cyberdelic] art. Gibson, William - Considered by most to be the "father" of [cyberpunk], along with [Bruce Sterling]. His works include the infamous "Neuromancer", "Count Zero", "Mona Lisa Overdrive" (these 3 works are known as the [sprawl] series), "The Difference Engine" with which he was co-author with [Bruce Sterling], and "Burning Chrome" a collection of short stories. Hist latest work is a poem in "[Agrippa: A Book of the Dead]". Gibson says he will no longer be writing the "classic" [cyberpunk] novels he is famous for. Hacker - 60's (1st) generation (orig. MIT): one who tinkers with software, electronics, computer hardware, etc. 80's (2nd) [WarGames] generation: one who enters computer systems without permission with either malicious or non-malicious intent, to gain, alter, or destroy information (labelled as [crackers] by the 60's generation). 90's (3rd) generation: often called [cyberpunks], mostly non-malicious [crackers] interested in information for the sake of information, and not hacking for the sake of the hack - sometimes calling themselves "information liberators", they have re-adopted more of the original hacker ethic of the 60's which states mainly "all information should be free", "access to computers should be unlimited and total" and "promote decentralization". This new, 3rd generation is commonly associated with the computer underground, despite its mostly non-malicious intent. Industrial - A subculture revolving around industrial music, a collection of mostly electronically created sounds and samples that results in a fierce explosion of sound labelled by many as "the new punk". This subculture is generally anti-political, anti-aesthetic in nature. Internet - A large and very popular world-wide computer network begun by the Defense Department in the 60's that connects educational institutions, corporations, organizations, and military and government installations around the globe. Some organizations exist that offer access to the Internet to the general public for an hourly/monthly/yearly fee. See the "BBSes" section of this article for more info, particularly those BBSes listed with "public access unix" next to them. Suggested are places like the [WELL], [MindVox], Nyx (which is free of cost), NetCom, etc. Many Internet users partake in reading and contributing to [Usenet], playing [MUD]s, FTPing text files and programs free of charge at the various FTP sites, and 'telnet'ing to other Internet sites. Because of its accessibility at a relatively low cost, size (the largest computer network in the world), connectivity, and infinite amounts of information, many network users prefer the Internet to such services as CompuServe (often called Compu$erve on the Internet) or Prodigy (which is more restricting in its content). The Internet has something to offer for everyone. Other portions of this file such as the suggested newsgroups list, list of FTP sites, and list of 'telnet'able services and sites, should be very helpful to the new Internet user. Once you gain access to the Internet, it is suggested that you read the 'news.announce.newusers' and 'news.newusers.questions' and 'news.answers' newsgroups on [Usenet]. You might also want to read the file 'NixPub: Listing of Public Access Unix sites' to find an Internet dial-up (BBS/Service) in your area. Legion of Doom - (LoD). A legendary group of [hackers] from the [computer underground]. When they disbanded, some members went on to form a computer security firm (ComSec), Loyd Blankenship wrote GURPS Cyberpunk for [Steve Jackson Games] and some ended up in jail from [Operation Sundevil]. Matrix - Term coined by William Gibson which refers to the consensual hallucination of [cyberspace]. MindVox - A [virtual community] in [cyberspace], also a [BBS] connected to the [Internet]. A nexus of the [computer underground] and [cyberpunk] and [virtual reality] begun by Phantom Access Technologies, former members of the [Legion of Doom]. See also the [WELL] Mirrorshades - A very important collection of [cyberpunk] fiction by various authors, most of whom are labelled as the [mirrorshades group]. This book is edited by [Bruce Sterling] and should be available in most bookstores. Mirrorshades Group - Original collection of [cp] authors which includes William Gibson, Bruce Sterling, Tom Maddox, Lewis Shiner, John Shirley, SF Eye magazine editor Steve Brown, Rudy Rucker, Pat Cadigan, and others. Mondo 2000 - Very popular [cyberpunk] and [new edge] magazine. Subscription information is available elsewhere in this file. MUD - Multi-User Domain, Multi-User Dungeon, or Multi-User Dimension. MUDs are multi-user role-playing-games of sorts that exist on the [Internet] for entertainment purposes. MUDs are essentially text-based [virtual worlds] which players (participants) may explore, change, or add on to. In some cases, the MUD is not actually a "game" with scores, player attributes, levels, etc., but some MUDs are set up this way. MUDs tend to be based around different science fiction genres such as fantasy, space, or even [cyberpunk]. Some MUD environments have no defining characteristics. Nanotechnology - the science of "micro-machines". Small gears or other machines seen only by a microscope, that can be used in areas such as medicine and health, art, and other technologies. Net - A computer network. Often used to mean the [Internet] when referred to as "the net" Netrunner - see [hacker]. New Edge - Fringe culture and fringe science, mostly techno-oriented, and very popular in Southern California. [Mondo 2000] is a magazine devoted to the new edge. Nootropics - A new fringe science revolving around drugs used to increase intelligence, aid in memory, enhance brain activity, etc. Touted as a fad by some, others claim that use of nootropics actually work. See also [SmartDrinks]. Operation Sundevil - Secret Service operation begun in 1990 intended to destroy the [computer underground] by confiscating [BBSes] and detaining [hackers]. Phrack - An important magazine existing only in [cyberspace], of interest to the [computer underground]. It's founder, Craig Neidorf, now works for the [Electronic Frontier Foundation]. Phreaker - [Hacking] the phone system. Usually meaning to get phone calls for free, whether by [boxing] or [cc fraud]. Post-modern - Literary, artistic, cultural, and philosophical movement revolving around the post-industrial world in which we live, and the unique aspects of the trends of modern society. Raves - A subculture revolving around all-night dance parties. Typically, the parties are illegal and thus a complex process is involved to find out where they are located. Rave music is [techno], the parties usually include 1 or more DJs. Also present in many cases are "chill out rooms" which feature more ambient music. Lasers, blaring music, [cyberdelic] images, [SmartDrinks] and drugs (most often MDMA {X, XTC, Ecstacy, E}, LSD {acid}, ketamine, or nootropics) are all large contributors to the rave eXperience. Raves are generally illegal gatherings, held in empty warehouses, and last until the next morning. Another large part of rave culture is the flyers - used to find out where your next party will be. Raves are meant to be very happy events, everyone is happy and open and free, lay your inhibitions aside for the night. Some have likened the rave eXperience to "a weekly roving [techno-]woodstock for the 90's." Rave fashion includes over-sized baggy t-shirts and pants, hooded sweat-shirts, ski caps, and usually bright colors. Slipstream - Term coined by [Bruce Sterling] to denote cyberpunk fiction, particularly pre-1984 fictional works that have been influential to the [mirrorshades group] or that closely resemble cyberpunk, but are usually outside of the sf genre. An example would be William S. Burroughs. SmartDrugs - [nootropics] SmartDrinks - Similar to SmartDrugs, or [nootropics], the intent of these substances, loaded with vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other healthy substances, is to aid in brain functioning. Smart Drinks are most often consumed at [raves], thus, the purpose of some smart drinks is to "energize" the drinker, not to make them smarter. Sprawl - Word used by [William Gibson] to mean large mega-cities, and places where different cities collide. Southern California and New York City might be early examples of the sprawl. This word is used often in modern times as "urban sprawl". Steve Jackson Games - RPG manufacturers which have played a key role in the evolution of [cyberpunk] and the [computer underground]. Operators of the Illuminati BBS and makers of GURPS Cyberpunk, an RPG guide written by Loyd Blankenship, a member of the [Legion of Doom]. Sterling, Bruce - considered by most to be the "co-founder" of [cyberpunk] along with [William Gibson]. He is the editor of "Mirrorshades: A cyberpunk anthology", which is considered the quintessential collection of [cp] works by the [mirrorshades group]. His other works include "Islands in the Net", "Schizmatrix", "The Involution Ocean", "The Artificial Kid", "The Difference Engine" which he co-authored with [Gibson] and "The Hacker Crackdown" a non-fiction account of the [computer underground] and [Operation Sundevil], including the [Electronic Frontier Foundation], [Phrack], the [Legion of Doom], [Steve Jackson Games], etc. Techno- - prefix similar to cyber-, referring to anything which has its roots in current or futuristic technology. Techno - type of music made almost entirely with the help of computers, revolving around a fast-paced drum beat (as high as 160 BPM), sampling, and synthesizers. Teledildonics - Virtual sex in a [virtual environment]. Term often used by the [new edge] community. 2600 - A popular hardcopy magazine devoted to the [computer underground]. Subscription information is obtained elsewhere in this file. Usenet - A collection of "newsgroups" on the [Internet], in which [Internet] users may post or read messages on almost any subject imaginable. The topics of discussion are divided up into the individual newsgroups, which total about 2000 on average. Usenet is divided into various large sections, including the 'alt'ernative newsgroups, the 'comp'uter newsgroups, the 'sci'ence newsgroups and the 'talk' newsgroups. A suggested list of newsgroups is contained in this file. Some groups are moderated, while most remain completely uncensored. Virtual Community - any group or gathering that exists in [cyberspace]. This could be a [BBS], a [hacking] group, a [net], or even a [zaibatsu]. Virtual Culture - the collection of [virtual communities], and the cultural aspects unique to those communities. Virtual Environment - a [virtual world]. Virtual Reality - a consensual hallucination of a world existing only in [cyberspace]. Modern day virtual reality uses helmets, gloves, and body suits to create such a world, which is first created on a computer and connected to the vr devices. The goal of virtual reality is to generate a completely alternate reality. Research in vr includes networking people, so spacial limitations are meaningless. The possibilities of vr-generated environments are as limitless as the imagination. Virtual World - a world existing in [cyberspace] created and used with [virtual reality] technologies. WELL - The Whole Earth 'Lectronic Link. An important gridpoint in the [matrix], a [virtual community] in [cyberspace], also a [BBS] connected to the [Internet]. A group concerned mostly with [cyberpunk], [virtual reality], [nootropics], and other aspects of the [new edge]. Zaibatsu - Japanese term used a lot by [William Gibson] that means a large mega-corporation, such as Sony for example. ______________________________________________________________________________ | | | Magazines (hardcopy) of interest: | |_____________________________________| Boardwatch 5970 S.

LSD -lysergic acid diethylamide-25, acid, cid, sid, lucy in the sky, sugarcubes, blotter, tabs, microdots, windowpaine, etc. etc. -causes hallucinations, altering/distortion of vision, auditory, time, enhancement of sensations, motor difficulties, loss of concentration or consistent thought, pupil dilation (or opposite) -not physically addictive, can be psychologically, though -trip usually averages around 8-12 hours -post-usage effects may include insomnia, jitters, temporary/permanent psychosis, flashbacks, permanent trails, nausea -usage: taken orally or licked, usually on blotter paper, sugarcubes, jello, dropper, also eyeballs -strychnine rumors/myths persist -dosage is usually unknown -150-200 mics usually induces heavy trip -those with heart/physical problems, low tolerance should avoid -set (your idea of what the drug will do / mood) and setting (where you are and who you're with) have a _lot_ to do with the outcome of what LSD does. First time trippers should trip only with people they trust that have tripped before, and in a place where unexpected "bad" things will not happen (police come in, parents, etc). Tim Leary has lots of info on what could be done. Reading his books can only help. Marijuana -cannabis, pot, weed, mj, mary jane, etc. etc. -consumption: joints, bongs, pipes, hash brownies, tea, etc. -produces some distortions, feeling of happiness -when stoned, your eyelids become heavy -we don't really need much more info, do we?

Beware of taking X with people you know little about. (You may end up giving your car keys to your worst enemy). Any touch to your skin (in a sexual sense) feels like heaven, even though sex may be impossible. -usage: pills, caplets, in water -street stuff may contain many different varieties of different substances -much debate over toxicity and neuro-toxicity -set and setting are extremely important, as with LSD -long-term use can result in liver damage Mushrooms (Psilocype) -Baeocystis (potent), caerulipes (blue foot), coprophila (dung-loving) cubensis (common large), cyanescens (bluing), pelliculosa (conifer) semilanceata (liberty cap), stunzii (stunz's blue legs), amanita muscaria (fly agaric), conocybe smithii (bog conocybe), gymopilus spectabilis (big laughing gym) -never ingest unless positively identified by a mycologist to be non-poisonous -effective dose of dried mushrooms: 1 gram (one or two whole shrooms) -best taken on an empty stomach -consumption: orally, smoked, tea (water + dried fragments) -effects: trip lasting 6 hours or so, more visual & less auditory than LSD, alters sound-perception though not as radically as LSD -physical effects: liquid breathing, headache -effects occur quicker, generally, than with LSD Nutmeg -usage: 5-20 grams of freshly ground -effects: heavy buzz, promotes lethargy, sleep, nausea, dry mouth, pupil dilation Yohimbe bark -usage: 6-10 teaspoons of shaved bark boiled in water & drank can also be smoked -effects: aphrodisiac (supposedly), perception changes (mild) lasts 2-4 hours, insomnia, nausea possible -rumored to cause longer-term erections in men. cool. ______________________________________________________________________________ | | | Merchandise/Companies: | |__________________________| Abbie Yo-Yo Inc.

Have fun! Many thanks go out to the masses who have added their suggestions, too numerous to mention. But an extra-special thanks to Bruce Sterling and Steve Brown of SF Eye for being *extremely* helpful with suggestions, comments, and info! Many thanks go out to Strider (Steve White) for editing this file, as well as Anne Balsamo for providing a very useful, wonderful bibliography. Final Hellos to: the nameless masses. (yes, you!). And all those living on the edge of the future, and to all those working to protect cyberspace from the fascism that now threatens it. And everyone else. :-) Again, if you have any questions/comments/concerns/criticisms/corrections or any additional info, please contact me at ahawks@nyx.cs.du.edu. _______________________________________________________________________________
