Jason William KarpfGood overview of Torment Nexus concept. In the end, sci-fi doesn’t teach people to be evil.

The 500 Hats of LambdaCalculusAhoy, all you Datarunners and pirates! It's time to put out another call for another very impossible to get movie! :pirate_flag: :hackers_town: New Rose Hotel is a 1998 adaptation of William Gibson's 1984 short story of the same name, as featured in his 1986 short story collection, "Burning Chrome". The film features Christopher Walken, Willem Dafoe, Asia Argento, and a surprise appearance by Final Fantasy artist and character Yoshitaka Amano.The film made surprisingly little money (only approx. $21,151 altogether!), had very little distribution, and did get a DVD release in Europe, but of course the DVD is damn near impossible to find, and any torrents are bad rips that don't seed properly.I wanna find a copy of this movie on DVD so I can rip it and of course put a copy on the Internet Archive. Yeah, it's probably not a great movie, but it's still a cool cyberpunk film to check out!Let's preserve another near lost film, Chooms! :hacker: <a href="https://hackers.town/tags/WilliamGibson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WilliamGibson</a> <a href="https://hackers.town/tags/Cyberpunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cyberpunk</a> <a href="https://hackers.town/tags/KeepCirculatingTheTapes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KeepCirculatingTheTapes</a>

Mark HI grabbed my 1995 edition of William Gibson's Neuromancer off the shelf today; stiff yellow pages and mustiness that suggested a last reading back in around 2000.There's always a danger when you re-read something you last read a long time ago that it won't be as good as you remembered. I wondered how dated it would all feel. It doesn't, though. It's incredible writing. So descriptive, so atmospheric. The world-building is suffocatingly intense.<a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bookstodon</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/WilliamGibson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WilliamGibson</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Neuromancer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Neuromancer</a>

TannersIs there any fantasy-cyberpunk out there? After recovering from my William Gibson reading-rabbit-hole, I more than ever believe in the famous "sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" (Clark's third law). Gibson's technology feels like a magic system, so why shouldn't there be a fantasy novel using magic to explore urban low-life, zaibatsu conglomerates and other cyberpunk themes? <a href="https://toot.community/tags/cyberpunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cyberpunk</a> <a href="https://toot.community/tags/fantasy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fantasy</a> <a href="https://toot.community/tags/WilliamGibson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WilliamGibson</a>

The monkey has the shriveled face of an old man, and its toothy mouth is cracked open like it's laughing, like Mark has told it the funniest joke ever, but its deft little humanlike hand is reaching out for Mark's ear like it wants to grab the ear or tear it off. Mark has no idea. He just stares into the camera grinning like a fool, the tropical sun bouncing off his perfectly capped teeth.Every time I see one of these on Tinder my stomach churns. The idea of letting something as vile as a monkey get that close to your face is...unsavory. After all, monkeys and humans share 96 percent of the same genetic code and seeing that similarity in action is just plain uncanny. Animal behaviorists study groups of chimpanzees for insights into our own power structures and while these animals do participate in complex communities with rituals and hierarchies, they also possess a rabid barbarism. I once heard a story where a chimp ate an organ out of another smaller monkey, without killing the poor thing first-presumably because the tidbit tasted better fresh. Either that, or the bloodlust was the attraction, and well: Is that the 96 percent in action or the 4 percent? Who knows? So Mark advertising his skill with a wild primate really strikes me as the wrong message to send to potential mates.<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HeatherMcCalden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HeatherMcCalden</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/book" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#book</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/reading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#reading</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/primates" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#primates</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@bookstodon</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WilliamGibson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WilliamGibson</a>
