   Greetings,   
      
   I am looking for the original source of the following quote, or even the   
   identity of its author:   
      
   …cyberpunk wants to see the mind as mechanistic & duplicable,   
   challenging basic assumptions about the nature of individuality & self.   
   That seems all the better reason to assume that cyberpunk art & music is   
   essentially mindless garbagio. Willy certainly addressed this idea in   
   “Count Zero,” with Katatonenkunst, the automatic box-maker and the   
   girl's observation that the real art was the building of the machine   
   itself, rather than its output. — Eliot Handelman   
      
   Peter.
