#ShockwaveRider

Not the #Cyberpunk proper, being written back in 1975, but fucking close. And still extremely to the point even some fifty years later. It feels so damn contemporary I couldn't believe it had been written so long ago.
(I only checked the publishing date after I finished the book) 😯

"Men, embryonically speaking, are imperfect women, as you know."

- The Shockwave Rider by John Brunner

"Governments rely on threat and trauma to survive. The easiest populace to rule is weak, poor, superstitious, preferably terrified of what tomorrow may bring, and constantly being reminded that the man in the street must step into the gutter when his superiors deign to pass him by."

- The Shockwave Rider by John Brunner
