Cyberfiction: After the Future explores a place where cybernetics sets the terms for society, life and culture—our world of ubiquitous info-tech, instantaneous capital flows, and immanent catastrophe.

Dick, Samuel Delany, Octavia Butler, and William Gibson, among others, map a territory where information reigns supreme and the future is becoming a thing of the past.
