Anyone remember the 90's? Ah, the early days of the web, grunge, and the rise of Cyberpunk. In fact, the Cyberpunk movement predates the web (by over a decade). And for those of you on the scene back in the heady days of 1990, you might remember a cult hit known as "Beyond Cyberpunk," which was distributed as a Hypercard stack. Yeah, Hypercard, how we made hyperlinks before HTML... Remember that one? When I made stuff in Hypercard PC users would scratch their head and say, "golly, how'd you do that?" I miss Hypercard.

Anyway, the classic "Beyond Cyberpunk" is now available in its entirety online. Makes sense, since the navigational metaphor is the same. It's a fairly raw data dump, not a fully integrated experience. In other words, be prepared for a simplistic site, not an exact replica of the old disks (yeah, BC was distributed on floppies). It's a historical record though, of the days before cameraphones and iTunes, and required reading for those of us who were in college at the time *cough*... My sneakernet ran on Converse, how about yours?
