A generation of people raised in the weird, unmapped terrain of hackers, smart drugs, virtual reality, cyberliterature and technoshamanism is propelling Western culture into a renaissance and, culturally, into an evolutionary leap. The postsmodern world of cyberpunk and hyperreality is here. The author takes the reader into the trenches of this hyperspace, into a labyrinth of concepts and illicit activities, of computer networks, raves, fractals, neopaganism and the re-emergence of psychedelic drugs, and captures the essence of a subculture.
