   Ah, but the tech that surrounds *us* need not be the tech that surrounds a   
   story's characters in order for the story to be CP. :) If cyberpunk-story

   * yes, I know I'm too old for the curriculum, but having all your textbooks   
   and reference books in a smartpaper binding that takes handwritten input   
   and doubles as a telescope and microscope is still too cool. ;)
