Glenn Branca and the Lost History of Cyberpunk: No Wave, Cyberspace, and Science Fiction Literature
Glenn Branca and the Lost History of Cyberpunk: No Wave, Cyberspace, and Science Fiction Literature, by James Reich
www.jamesreichbooks.com
No Wave composer Glenn Branca was an important advocate for the science fiction literary sub-genre cyberpunk. This is a personal account of seeing Branca in London, and the author's earliest experiences with the Internet, including the discovery that Branca was selling collectible cyberpunk books online. Among the observations here is the influence of Branca and Robert Longo, notably Longo's "Men in the Cities" series on the aesthetics of cyberspace as it stylized, including the sharp suit and the interrupted body ad its motions that continue into the M...

    The analysis that you present us is as beautiful as overwhelming. This is the most incredible analysis that I have ever seen in my life (seriously). I must be grateful for this. It is very, very difficult to find people as passionate as you, that is why, in my opinion, romanticism is the scape for sensitive souls. ¡Thank you so much for remembering us how to feel! I notice that it says "PDF transcript available on request", so would it be possible for you to provide me the script? I am very interested to study this analysis in detail, as I found some information hard to understand. Congrats for your ability to create this masterpiece of interpretation. It was a pleasure to watch your video.

    Much like the film it describes, this has helped me to discover things about myself that I can barely express. Thanks so much for the effort. Will definitely be looking out for future content.

    Great analysis. Thanks. I heard Lars plans to stop making films!!! Damn! Do you know what would be super crazy idea for Lars interpretation? The story about a black singer castrated as a child in order to keep his high pitched voice. Later in life he tries to befriend boys near his age of castration (12 y old) in order to "make clones of himself" because he was not able to produce biological kids. In his SUPER TWISTED mind the black singer believed that making clones of himself would make him "immortal". That's why his special friends were made to look and dance like him. He even built an abusement park to lure kids. But the singer went toooooooo far - he actually introduced his special friends to masturbation and oral sex and was accused of pedophilia several times and paid hush money to the parents. Yes, it was a pedophilia per se but no body realized the singer was a castrato. In fact that's why FBI never found a single sperm cell on those boys pants. The singer was not able to perform full penetration (anal or vaginal). That's why the case was soooo bafling to the public. The public was divided on hardcore fans and haters. The singer even produced 3 Caucasian kids using a donor sperm and a surrogate uterus. He bleached his face and changed it surgically because his father was the one who castrated him and his face reminded him too much of his father's face. IMHO it would be a hit if Lars would make it as deviations are his favorite area of research. (I know you already guess who the prototype is, but it will be written "Any resemblance with real people is ...blah blah"
