The world of Cyberpunk (CP) narrative offers a great deal of potential insight into the exploration of technology in our lives. One of the most unique aspects of those stories includes an analysis and evaluation of what makes us human in the first place. Join us in the weeks ahead as we explore a unique set of stories and offer our Cyberized take on well-known characters and archetypes regarding how they can inform our journey to self-define our own identities in a tech-fueled world!

We are pleased to announce the first in our series on cyberpunk characters: Johnny Mnemonic. A character treated with a great Razzy in the mid-1990s, the original edition of a typical human-turned-data-storage targeted by hitman story offered us a unique insight in the early part of the 1980s. Helping to define what a CP character would look like, William Gibson released the original story in OMNI magazine in May of 1981, over a full year before Blade Runner hit screens on June 25, 1982.
