Cyberpunks

            Timothy Leary"s essay entitled "The Cyberpunk: The Individual as Reality Pilot" first appeared in Chaos and Cyber Culture in 1994. Leary defines cyberpunks as "Cyberpunks use all available data-input to think for themselves." He writes about "the cyberperson, cybertech and cyberpolitics." The cyberperson is the one who pilots his/her own life. They continually search for theories, models, paradigms, metaphors, etc. Leary says cybertech refers to the tools, appliances and methodologies of knowing and communicating. He also says Cyberpolitics introduces the use of language and linguistic-tech by the ruling classes in feudal and industrial societies to control children, the uneducated, and the underclass. Cyberpunks are those who use all available data-input to think for themselves. Leary also touches on the word governetics which refers to an attitude of obedience-control in relationship to self or others. Leary gives a few examples of cyberpunks included on that list are: Christopher Columbus, mark Twain, and Mathias (Rusty) Rust. War Games is an electronic quantum signal, a movie about high-tech computers and human evolution that illustrates and condemns the use of quantum-electronic knowledge technology by governors to control. Leary writes about the Cyberpunk as role model for the 21st century in his final paragraph.
