Alt.Cyberpunk.Chatsubo A low rent, high tech literary Usenet newsgroup hiding in a dark bar behind a red door called Charlie in a back alley of on-line culture.The Alt.Cyberpunk.Chatsubo Anthology is a collection of writings from the hard edge, from the dingy city streets to distant planets or right down into the inner workings of the human mind. The stories within are the end result of a global collective. We come from different backgrounds, different cultures and different countries. We have in common a desire to share our works with each other, and other connoisseurs of the written word who like to sit and read the tales we have to tell.

Cyberpunk? Yeah. Literature? No.,

This review is from: The Alt.Cyberpunk.Chatsubo Anthology (Paperback)
This collection of short stories and poems is interesting, but it really doesn't advance the genre past the markers set by Gibson, Stephenson and Sterling. Frequent spelling mistakes ("Leibowitz," as in _A_Canticle_For_Leibowitz_, is misspelled as "Liebowitz," for example) and sloppy diction mar a great deal of the stories in the anthology.If you're a die-hard fan of cyberpunk, then this might be interesting (if only to compare non-published authors with the Big Three), but if you're new to the genre, try to find a copy of _Mirrorshades_ used, or pick up _Burning_Chrome_ by William Gibson. Pat Cadigan also has an anthology of cyberpunk coming out in paperback in 2004.
