This weeks lecture focused explicitly on the world of cyberpunk (something which probably would have been more appropriate last week considering the tutespark...but anyway).
Daniel introduced us, firstly, to William Gibson; a leading writer for Cyberpunk and his work so far, something Daniel was quite clearly a fan of.
Daniel explored the direction of cyberpunk and its grotty themes; the lust-driven, money hungry, dark side of society a lot of us seem to ignore so easily, or in his words, "cold, hard, motherf$%&ing cash!"
I found the concept intriguing but unfortunately I did not leave the lecture with much food for thought. I was, however, motivated to get hold of a piece of Gibson's work, which Daniel clearly holds so highly.
