Welcome to Mona Lisa Overpod, the show that asks the question "What is cyberpunk?" On each episode, hosts Ka1iban and author Lyda Morehouse dive into the genre that helped define sci-fi fiction in '80s and they break down its themes which remain relevant to our lives in the 21st century. Pull on your mirrorshades, jack into the matrix, and start your run with us today!Does cyberpunk storytelling require dialogue and exposition? Even more than mainstream sci-fi, the cyberpunk genre has complicated concepts and themes it needs to communicate to the reader. But Tsutomu Nihei's BLAME! defies convention with a taciturn protagonist and a silent world. An architect by training and a mangaka by trade, Nihei lets his intricate and somber illustrations drive the story of a lone wanderer in an impossibly gargantuan and hostile space.  In this episode, we discuss how the influences that shaped Nihei's work, the somber mood created by his detailed landscapes, the manga's liminal spaces, the story's unconscious criticism of conspicuous consumption, what defines a neo-cyberpunk tale, and the permeable boundaries of transhumanism. We also talk about gettin' Biblical, "worm-infected birds", the horse snack gap, Making BLAME! Great Again, adding more shoe leather, nemotopia, OMG poststructuralism, projected negativity, original flavor DNA, Wesley and the Drug Planet, coelacanths, treks and silence, and taking a trippy-trip through a strange land!YOU GOT BLAMED!The new edition of Lyda's book, Ressurection Code, is out now!https://wizardstowerpress.com/books-2/books-by-lyda-morehouse/resurrection-code/Join Kaliban on Twitch weekdays at 12pm for the Cyber Lunch Hour!http://twitch.tv/justenoughtropePut Just Enough Trope merch on your body!http://justenoughtrope.threadless.comMLOP is a part of the Just Enough Trope podcast network.

Pull on your mirrorshades, jack into the matrix, and start your run with us today!Was Snow Crash the annunciation of a new era of the cyberpunk genre or its epitaph? Upon its release in 1992, Neal Stephenson's third novel entered a literary world that had grown tired of the pessimistic speculations of tech noir fiction. The public was ready for tales of a future that promised hope and adventure, a little "high life" to go with the "high tech". Snow Crash has been lauded by contemporary critics (and tech CEOs) as a visionary, biting satire of consumerism and cyberpunk tropes in equal measure. But is Stephenson's tale of pizza-delivering hackers a postcyberpunk, postmodernist masterpiece, or is it just a bunch of babble? In this episode, we discuss the environment into which Snow Crash was born, its comic origins, the contiguity of cyberpunk and satire, Stephenson's evolving career, postcyberpunk, the book's eerie prescience, civilization as a virus, the book's influence on our current world, and a "culture medium for a medium culture." We also talk about the Seattle of the Midwest, missing the "meme", baby luaus, doing your own research, repeating bad information, A Irony, Ed Meece bucks, commentainment, status symbol books, boomer hackers and zoomer slackers, hipster sword fights, loving a crapsack world, subverting the "punk", notes of libertarianism, "Sushi K, Tran, and the Rat Things: The Spinoff", AskJeeves+, Wikipedia OMEGA, "skipping the memo", and only reading the second part of Snow Crash?!I love Y.T.! uh...like a little sister...The new edition of Lyda's book, Ressurection Code, is out now!https://wizardstowerpress.com/books-2/books-by-lyda-morehouse/resurrection-code/Join Kaliban on Twitch weekdays at 12pm for the Cyber Lunch Hour!http://twitch.tv/justenoughtropePut Just Enough Trope merch on your body!http://justenoughtrope.threadless.comMLOP is a part of the Just Enough Trope podcast network.

Pull on your mirrorshades, jack into the matrix, and start your run with us today!Cyberpunk is not solely an American phenomenon, and even as Western works like Blade Runner and Neuromancer were releasing in the 1980s, Japan was already well on its way to becoming a wellspring of high-tech-low-life science fiction. Part Charlie's Angels, part Iron Man, and all attitude, Bubblegum Crisis exploded onto Japanese screens in 1987 to smash the glass ceiling of female representation in bad ass anime. Squealing tires and squealing guitars provide the soundtrack to this techno-thriller that prefigures the direction anime and Western animation would take for the next two decades. In this episode, we discuss how Bubblegum Crisis came to be and why it may never be again, the cross-pollination that informed the development of cyberpunk on both sides of the Pacific, the economic conditions in Showa Japan that created the OVA boom and modern anime, putting female characters front-and-center, and the unique Japanese flavor of cyberpunk media. We also talk about ChatGPT drinking all our water, Top Gun maps, Chris Nolan: Anime Fan, getting your ball back, Lupin the Murderer, distilling liquid 1987, feminism blankets, missing the yaoi, an exoskeleton for your exoskeleton, Grimace Hulk, and it's not anime...it's HBO!THE BABY SITUATION IS BAD!The new edition of Lyda's book, Ressurection Code, is out now!https://wizardstowerpress.com/books-2/books-by-lyda-morehouse/resurrection-code/Join Kaliban on Twitch weekdays at 12pm for the Cyber Lunch Hour!http://twitch.tv/justenoughtropePut Just Enough Trope merch on your body!http://justenoughtrope.threadless.comMLOP is a part of the Just Enough Trope podcast network.

Pull on your mirrorshades, jack into the matrix, and start your run with us today!In our modern world of digital landscapes and virtual reality, the concept of the "real" can be as tenuous as ever. Is the Internet a real place? What does it mean that fictional characters and augmented worlds seem as real as what's outside your door? And what do we do when reality as we know it becomes optional?  In this episode, we discuss how the digital revolution put reality on trial and how "reality" as a concept is explored in cyberpunk fiction. We also talk about the abacus vs. Excel, the fall of Google, being a human AI detector, the mystery of memory and identity, editing yourself, '90s movies about reality, the way that popular media lags behind science fiction, the worlds of Philip K Dick, poopooing the woowooing, the other side of the dream, trying to get rich as a sci-fi author, horrible virtual grocery stores, how data manipulation shapes reality, getting Kojima on you, incentivizing meanness, and Making America Real Again!Help AI help you!The new edition of Lyda's book, Ressurection Code, is out now!https://wizardstowerpress.com/books-2/books-by-lyda-morehouse/resurrection-code/Join Kaliban on Twitch weekdays at 12pm for the Cyber Lunch Hour!http://twitch.tv/justenoughtropePut Just Enough Trope merch on your body!http://justenoughtrope.threadless.comMLOP is a part of the Just Enough Trope podcast network.

Pull on your mirrorshades, jack into the matrix, and start your run with us today!Cyberpunk is alive and well in the 21st century and today we're talking with the author of the latest addition to the cyberpunk canon: author Cory O'Brien! In the watery streets of future LA, data is the only currency, and Infodrip fact-checker Orr Vue will find himself at the center of a twisted murder mystery that could cost him his mind, his freedom, and his life! In this episode, we talk with Cory about the origins of the novel's premise, the connections between cyberpunk and noir fiction, the difference between 20th century and 21st century cyberpunk, the literal information economy presented in the book, the gross incompetence of our techno-overlords, how humans contextualize knowledge better than AI, the limits of current AI models, why corporations "let" you be gay, and when the aesthetic overwhelms the genre. We also talk about rogue AI, losing the "punk", stacking your demos, jealously guarding your cat pictures, monetizing fun, digital beastmastering, messing around with Eliza, the home Voight-Kampff test, William Gibson poems, making cyberpunk literally juicy, and an interruption from Alexa!Telepathy would never work!Pre-order Two Truths and a Lie, available March 4th!https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/741701/two-truths-and-a-lie-by-cory-obrien/See Cory on the web!http://bettermyths.comThe new edition of Lyda's book, Ressurection Code, is out now!https://wizardstowerpress.com/books-2/books-by-lyda-morehouse/resurrection-code/Join Kaliban on Twitch weekdays at 12pm for the Cyber Lunch Hour!http://twitch.tv/justenoughtropePut Just Enough Trope merch on your body!http://justenoughtrope.threadless.comMLOP is a part of the Just Enough Trope podcast network.

Pull on your mirrorshades, jack into the matrix, and start your run with us today!There is movies before 1999's The Matrix, and there is movies after The Matrix and those two worlds are not the same. Into a cinematic landscape of TV adaptations, potbolier thrillers, and Oscar-bait dramas came a film that kicked open the screen doors of the public's perception and changed movie-making forever. The Matrix is so ingrained into our idea of technology and culture that it's hard to imagine its absence, but we're here to try and pick apart its contribution to culture, misunderstanding the red pill, and the film's status as the ultimate cyberpunk artifact. In this episode, we discuss the inspirations behind the universe of the Matrix, its forebears in sci-fi and Hong Kong cinema, the trend of reality-questioning media in the 1990s, the power of the series's practical effects, the intentions of the creators, our fan theories and headcanon, and how it's ultimately a spiritual film. We also talk about "Who shot JR?", cool European AIs, high-caliber flipping, digital goulash, being more Dicky than Gibsonian, the Google Agent Smith AI, 'punkin in the '90s, Happy Meal levels of cultural penetration, Kate Moss kicking ass, fascinating straight people, killing a car with a sword, and a heist PLUS a rave cave?!Matthew Lillard is the One!The new edition of Lyda's book, Ressurection Code, is out now!https://wizardstowerpress.com/books-2/books-by-lyda-morehouse/resurrection-code/Join Kaliban on Twitch weekdays at 12pm for the Cyber Lunch Hour!http://twitch.tv/justenoughtropePut Just Enough Trope merch on your body!http://justenoughtrope.threadless.comMLOP is a part of the Just Enough Trope podcast network.

Pull on your mirrorshades, jack into the matrix, and start your run with us today!Christmas is a time of good cheer and goodwill to all, while cyberpunk presents a world of grimness and the brutality of institutions towards the individual. So, clearly, there's no such thing as a cyberpunk Christmas story, right? Enter Brazil, the terrifyingly funny film by Terry Gilliam that takes 1984 and places it squarely in the middle of British fascist Christmas. Gilliam milks humor from the absurd degradations of an oppressive society, all while highlighting the techno-fetishism and enforced consumption that substitute for human connection in the world of the film and often our own. In this episode, we discuss the origins of Brazil as a film, the story's parallels with other Christmas tales, the enforced consumption of a cyberpunk society, the influence of Brave New World and 1984 on the film, the radical act of giving away labor, Tom Cruise?, fascism's banal ideologies, commoditizing art, and becoming immune to satire. We also talk about being charged for your own interrogation, being iffy on Gilliam, weird baby people, medium ball questions, dumb frogs, Robert de Niro fixing your pipes, the implication of corn, getting distracted by the hamster, and skeeting in the right way!Consumers for Christ!The new edition of Lyda's book, Ressurection Code, is out now!https://wizardstowerpress.com/books-2/books-by-lyda-morehouse/resurrection-code/Join Kaliban on Twitch weekdays at 12pm for the Cyber Lunch Hour!http://twitch.tv/justenoughtropePut Just Enough Trope merch on your body!http://justenoughtrope.threadless.comMLOP is a part of the Just Enough Trope podcast network.

Pull on your mirrorshades, jack into the matrix, and start your run with us today!Cyberpunk, culturally, is as much about style as it is about theme, and every good scene needs a soundtrack. But what exactly constitutes cyberpunk music? What BPM correctly communicates "down with the corpos"? Can you make cyberpunk music with analog instruments? And how does Michael Sembello fit into all of this? In this episode, we discuss the evolution of electronic music and the "cyberpunk sound", its roots in the punk movement and early electronica, the balance between composition and theme, the importance of "feel", defining an art form through constraints, and we ask whether or not "cyberpunk music" is a living genre. We also talk about dead Aibos, Dexy's = not cyberpunk, tapepunk, the trans history of synthesized music, Krautrock, how Blade Runner DIDN'T influence cyberpunk music, cyber-meetings with Timothy Leary, the Suck Fairy, synthwave and the Desert of the Real, the non-cyberpunk Matrik soundtrack, and how cyberpunk music looks back to look forward."If you have exceptions, you do have a rule." - Lyda MorehouseThe new edition of Lyda's book, Ressurection Code, is out now!https://wizardstowerpress.com/books-2/books-by-lyda-morehouse/resurrection-code/Join Kaliban on Twitch weekdays at 12pm for the Cyber Lunch Hour!http://twitch.tv/justenoughtropePut Just Enough Trope merch on your body!http://justenoughtrope.threadless.comMLOP is a part of the Just Enough Trope podcast network.

Pull on your mirrorshades, jack into the matrix, and start your run with us today!Mary Shelley's classic tale of scientific hubris and inhuman misery has inspired countless tales of sci-fi and fantasy since its publication in 1818. But does its long list of scions include cyberpunk? At the age of 19, Shelley shared a tale with the world that evinced her era's fear of the powers of technology, while simultaneously highlighting the unfair privilege of class in England and abroad, creating a narrative that nearly every work of genre fiction can trace its roots to. If Frankenstein's not cyber punk, what else can be?In this episode, we discuss Shelley's original novel and its 1831 revision, the novel's remarks on class and the contemporary science that inspired it, Shelley's tragic upbringing, the intersection of gothic and romance, the novel's unreliable epistolic narration, the themes of evolution and de-evolution, Shelley's trans friend and LGBTQ subtext, the thematic consistency of the story's many adaptations, and the role of community and empathy in developing new life. We also talk about how the Frankenstein films altered our perception of the monster, loving every word in the English language, going five epistolary levels down, getting alchemy-pilled, not being a doctor, an 8 ft. tall undead incel, Regency Minecraft, going Dewey Cox, Team Victor vs. Team Monster, Mary Shelley's creepypasta, 3 and 1/2 breakdowns, AI play dates, Frankie with the good hair, less mummies more Draculas, fainting monsters, Batman = Frankenstein, and if Mary Shelly would like Ghost in the Shell!#RIP to Teri GarrThe new edition of Lyda's book, Ressurection Code, is out now!https://wizardstowerpress.com/books-2/books-by-lyda-morehouse/resurrection-code/Join Kaliban on Twitch weekdays at 12pm for the Cyber Lunch Hour!http://twitch.tv/justenoughtropePut Just Enough Trope merch on your body!http://justenoughtrope.threadless.comMLOP is a part of the Just Enough Trope podcast network.

Pull on your mirrorshades, jack into the matrix, and start your run with us today!RoboCop, Judge Dredd, Rick Deckard, Motoko Kusanagi...for a genre nominally about the "lowlife" of future society, cyberpunk sure has a lot of cop protagonists. Law enforcement officers, detectives, and soldiers populate the TV and film fare of major distributors, and even counter-cultural authors like Philip K. Dick produced story after story of characters working for The Man.  What's behind the plethora of cyberpunk cop protagonists and what effect is produced from looking at a dystopia from the top down?In this episode, we discuss the reason behind the popularity of cop heroes in modern SF, the rise in crime that inspired the trend and creation of the cyberpunk genre as a reaction, the way that Hollywood shapes our view of the police, cop characters being caught between two worlds, the "future" versions of our surveillance society and predictive policing, the way that book marketing affects book publishing and creation, how much fascism an audience will take, the mutable rules of justice, how cyberpunk pulls back the curtain of our society, and whether fiction is ready to evolve to meet our brave new world. We also talk about saving Jesse Ventura's web page, drones in your neighborhood, steampunk cops, "Is Judge Dredd the bad guy?", gull-wing doors, not being on Reddit all day, smuggling bread flour, boring anarchists, Hillary Clinton's Sci-Fi Dystopia, trying to fix things with a gun, jet boots, friendjitsu, The Wire, and...Captain America?!TRON is a cop!Here's a link to the WIRED story in the ephttps://www.wired.com/story/the-age-of-the-drone-police-is-here/The new edition of Lyda's book, Ressurection Code, is out now!https://wizardstowerpress.com/books-2/books-by-lyda-morehouse/resurrection-code/Join Kaliban on Twitch weekdays at 12pm for the Cyber Lunch Hour!http://twitch.tv/justenoughtropePut Just Enough Trope merch on your body!http://justenoughtrope.threadless.comMLOP is a part of the Just Enough Trope podcast network.

Pull on your mirrorshades, jack into the matrix, and start your run with us today!Western literature and film don't possess a monopoly on cyberpunk fiction and, indeed, Japanese writers, filmmakers, and animators have been producing seminal cyberpunk works since the movement's beginning. Chief among them perhaps is Psycho-Pass: an anime series that depicts a future world that is part police-procedural and part Orwellian panoptic dystopia. The criminality of citizens is determined by their psycho-pass...and becoming too criminal, too insane, or too unhappy marks you for punishment or death via the state's licensed enforcers. a fiction that is chillingly real for many in our own society.In this episode, we discuss the sharp criticism of policing that Psycho-Pass presents, the common nuances between Western and Japanese dystopias, the "on-paper" benefits of their world, state-sanctioned murder, the way the series reflects our real-life attitudes towards the mentally ill, how the system radicalizes criminals, and the way the media manipulates us to support the status quo. We also talk about otaku vs. anoraks, kawaii vs. kowaii, ending every case with a mop and bucket, mood ring guns, Orwell vs. Huxley, stop and vibecheck, supermurder, Ball strings, edging the apocalypse, George Orwell's Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and a weird Warhammer 40K tangent!Gutenberg made us all cyborgs!Pre-order the new edition of Lyda's book, Ressurection Code, available Oct. 3rd!https://wizardstowerpress.com/books-2/books-by-lyda-morehouse/resurrection-code/Join Kaliban on Twitch weekdays at 12pm for the Cyber Lunch Hour!http://twitch.tv/justenoughtropePut Just Enough Trope merch on your body!http://justenoughtrope.threadless.comMLOP is a part of the Just Enough Trope podcast network.

Pull on your mirrorshades, jack into the matrix, and start your run with us today!Dystopias seem like the most distinctly recognizable settings in sci-fi, but more than a few utopias possess some suspiciously dystopic elements. Conversely, there are more than a few worlds traditionally labelled as dystopias that have seemingly succeeded in achieving the elusive goal of effective equality and social harmony. What does it take to make a heaven of hell or a hell of heaven? And how do you know when to stop fighting and love Big Brother just a little bit?In this episode, we discuss the often razor-thin line between utopias and dystopias in sci-fi literature, the core of satire in utopic and dystopic fiction, the role of class in cyberpunk and sci-fi fiction, the "noble lie" at the heart of utopias, the fiction of the "moral poor", individualism's impediment to social harmony, technology as a social tool and its inequal distribution, the importance of the outsider viewpoint, and whether cyberpunk is dystopia by default. We also talk about putting astronauts on Earth, days our future passed, time-travelling through sleep, turning your treatise into a novel, dystopic intent, digital bread and circuses, Evil McEvilson, whether fire ruined cavemen, the wavy arc of Justice, and why Star Trek isn't a utopia but a Nora Ephron movie is!Everybody gets a Ferrari!Pre-order the new edition of Lyda's book, Ressurection Code, available Oct. 3rd!https://wizardstowerpress.com/books-2/books-by-lyda-morehouse/resurrection-code/Join Kaliban on Twitch weekdays at 12pm for the Cyber Lunch Hour!http://twitch.tv/justenoughtropePut Just Enough Trope merch on your body!http://justenoughtrope.threadless.comMLOP is a part of the Just Enough Trope podcast network.

Welcome to Mona Lisa Overpod, the show that asks the question "What is cyberpunk?" On each episode, hosts Ka1iban and author Lyda Morehouse dive into the genre that helped define sci-fi fiction in '80s and they break down its themes which remain relevant to our lives in the 21st century. Pull on your mirrorshades, jack into the matrix, and start your run with us today!After the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, the future was looking pretty bright for straight, white, cisgender, middle-class Americans. The threat of unending nuclear cold war had disappeared and only trivial issues like street crime, unruly Middle East dictators, and rampant political correctness stood between us and the digital, frosted-tipped utopia of the 21st century. Into this pre-millenial Abraham's Bosom came Demolition Man, a Sylvester Stallone action flick-cum-NERF dystopia film about an unfrozen Dennis Rodman trying to snuff out our thousand points of light until Rocky punches his head off. But can any future REALLY be a happy one without cilantro and swearing?In this episode, we discuss the subtle (and not so subtle) subversions of Stallone's 1993 sci-fi comedy actioner, its position among '90s cinematic dystopias, the banality of a lack of evil, the film's silence on class, its commentary on overpolicing, the current reluctance to look forward, assimilating cynicism, and accepting our new weird world. We also talk about IKEA drones, whether dystopias need an artistic agenda, good Morlocks, President Arnie and Cyber Sly, Californication 2032, hidden Jesse Ventura, sex hats, totacotarianism, the Captain Kirk Test, Chekov's Hollywood sign, Stallone ice butt, Black Joker, Ryan Gosling healing us, and Pizza Hut gets it in the back of the head!Is money joy joy?Join Kaliban on Twitch weekdays at 12pm for the Cyber Lunch Hour!http://twitch.tv/justenoughtropePut Just Enough Trope merch on your body!http://justenoughtrope.threadless.comMLOP is a part of the Just Enough Trope podcast network.

Welcome to Mona Lisa Overpod, the show that asks the question "What is cyberpunk?" On each episode, hosts Ka1iban and author Lyda Morehouse dive into the genre that helped define sci-fi fiction in '80s and they break down its themes which remain relevant to our lives in the 21st century. Pull on your mirrorshades, jack into the matrix, and start your run with us today!If it walks like a punk and hacks like a punk...is it "cyberpunk"? Since its inception in the 1980s, cyberpunk has been one of the most visually and thematically distinguishable genres of science fiction, featuring stylish punks fighting against corporate and societal oppression. But how necessary to the genre of cyberpunk are the qualities that we associate with it? Can "punks" be clean cut? Can their bodies be intact and unwired? And what if it's not raining and all the neon is broken?In this episode, we discuss the seemingly essential mise en scene of cyberpunk, the original inspiriations and intentions of the Movement authors, the visual density that filmic depictions rely on, how commercial elements participate in a work's classification, the importance of scale, the "lack of power fantasy" that cyberpunk presents, and the constant evolution of the genre acfoss the decades. We also talk about dressing up like blue cats, bossin' styles, Tokyo on steroids, Kurt Vonnegut = cyberpunk?, deconstructing being "The Guy", Japanese Syllabic Dyslexia, lobster brains, giving Blade Runner 2049 a second chance, port gazing, monogamous reading, and cyberpunk as a Gen X genre, and Lyda's experiences at Worldcon 2024!Keanu Reeves is the avatar of Cyberpunk!Join Kaliban on Twitch weekdays at 12pm for the Cyber Lunch Hour!http://twitch.tv/justenoughtropePut Just Enough Trope merch on your body!http://justenoughtrope.threadless.comMLOP is a part of the Just Enough Trope podcast network.
