The Real Cyberpunk Fakebook

"The Real Cyberpunk Fakebook" by St. Jude, R.U. Sirius, and Bart Nagel is a humorous guide from the 90s that playfully explores the rising digital culture through the lens of cyberpunk, a sci-fi blend of high-tech and societal breakdown. Crafted as a tongue-in-cheek manual, the book advises on adopting the cyberpunk look with black leather and shades, examines groups such as goths and hackers, creates slang, suggests vital films and books, and comically approaches hacking. The piece shows a witty snapshot of a subculture movement, mixing humor and observations to both teach and amuse readers about being "hip".
