Born this day: 03/22/1946
Rudy Rucker is a mathematician and cyberpunk pioneer whose Ware Tetralogy — beginning with Software — helped define the genre. A two-time Philip K. Dick Award winner, his science fiction fuses transfinite math, artificial life, and gonzo humor across more than thirty books and five decades of invention.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudy_Rucker

I'm getting tired of stupid bad things from old novels and songs all coming true.
This one is like the 1980s #RudyRucker novel, where the protagonist is wearing his cyber-goggles, which have screens inside to show him his #cyberspace.
Goggles also have little cameras so they can pass through the view of the outside world.
Guy drives car with them!
Then realizes if they're hacked, could show him road goes straight, when there really is a cliff ahead.
And welp, here we be.

Oh nice. One of my formative texts is available to be borrowed from #ArchiveDotOrg https://archive.org/details/semiotextesf0000unse/mode/2up (or for download from libgen ⛵oops I 🏴☠️, yoho). I should probably reread that for a laugh sometime.
I wonder if the screen reading experience allows the flipbook animated robot cock in the bottom left corner to work as well as the paper edition

Great interview of me by John Shirley for the new futurist ezine *Instant Future*. They've interviewed Charlie Stross as well. Spurred by fellow OG cyberpunk Shirley, I wrote some heavy-duty wild-ass shit. Enjoy. https://instantfuture.org/flashforwards-next-50-years/

Identities are hard to let go. I've been through it more than once. I try to hold onto them more loosely than I used to.
I used to know a guy who when talking about his past who would say, "That was in one of my other lives." There's something to that.

In this episode, I play a song by JD Pinkus; this WordPress site is kind of a Mastodon instance; is using Mastodon restarting bad habits?; Apple announced AI audiobooks and Mastodon got fussy; I don’t like acccents in audiobooks; back in the day there were stores of audiobooks on cassettes; the innovator’s dilemma is working on industries and people when jobs change; the MMT job guarantee could reduce anxiety about industry disruption; I had the wrong feed for Rudy Rucker’s podcast; I am now all in on Zigbee; Sonoff Zigbee stuff is cheap and pretty good; Wiz light bulbs get confused by mesh wifi; having lots of Zigbee devices is better than one or two; I did not get my wish list of to-do items done over a very long holiday break; make the hard decisions on what to do with your items before you die so others don’t have to.

@bond The term "dreampunk" hasn't really taken off yet, but the genre has been blowing up for a while. Take these two new releases in the top 10 on #Netflix, for example.
Good examples that come to mind are @neilhimself's #TheSandman, Jeff Noon's #Vurt books, Murakami's Hard-Boiled Wonderland...
I put together a site with a description of the genre and a bunch of examples of #books, #movies and #TV, plus interviews with #dreampunk authors like #JeffNoon and #RudyRucker: https://whatisdreampunk.com/

Cyberpunk's Mad Profesor Rudy Rucker extracted all of his 12 year run on Twitter to create an archival feed. A fascinating, unsettling dead media experiment.

Maravilla: Rudy Rucker, el único escritor cyberpunk científico, extrajo todos sus tweets de los últimos 12 años e hizo un feed con ellos. Curioso e inquietante experimento mediático.
