- Somewhere in Cyberspace, strider@mind.ORG said about 'Guide to the New Edge':
- |Has anyone been able to check out the new Mono 200 book? "The Mondo 2000
- |Guide to the New Edge?" I saw it at the local Bookstrore but When I got
- |back to look at it they had all sold out :(. Was it (is it) worth the $20
- |bucks they were asking for it?
- |
- | Strider
-
- It's not worth the $20 if you keep all your back issues of Mondo, cuz

- conveniently divided, thurough list of resources and suggested
- readings/viewings/listenings, but not as thurough as my
- FutureCulture FAQ, but plen-t more in-depth...
-
- I heart-and-lungidly believe that if you get this book, and if you
- keep up with my FutureCulture FAQ (my cyberography), then you'll have
- your Hitchhiker's Guide to Hyperspace set on auto-pilot for another
- few years )at the very least(, until the rest of humani-t catches up
- with the fresh-fish of the day....
-
- Goes double if you have a detachable penis....
-
- If your mind survives subjectively beyond the chaos of the hyperreal,
- then you already have this book and you already knew all this....
