      From: peter@cs.dal.ca              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.              --       ----------------------------------------------------------------------       C++ is as natural as a language needs to be.        - P.F.S.       ----------------------------------------------------------------------              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
