I haven't found anything on him, but he seems like an intriguing subject. I would like to have access to his poetry.

The person doesn't even appear in Google results.

MC Ride, He's a strong candidate. The Hacker is practically a hymn.

If you mean the counter-cultural phenomenon, NL took a turn to enlightened despotism. Personally, I believe that to secure your ticket to the other side when the roko basilisk makes its material manifestation.

This is where it starts to get classic. Ballard is a strong representative of cyberpunk ideas and I think he's an author who can talk properly about the future, taking into account that Empire of the Sun is the childhood he lived during the Second World War.

I am struck by the way no one has made the connection between Empire and Crash: Basically one connects to the other. Defeated imperial Japan returns as a ghost of revenge in the auto industry by destroying Detroit and feeding a handful of fetishists during the 1990s who could easily be users on picture boards.

Burroughs is something else, I think, closer to his personal relationship with gods lost and invented during his heroin delusions as he explores the limits of desire, in this sense he is closer to Huxley, like a furious Dionysus.

I need cyberpunk poets.
