Surprised it didn’t come with a free AOL CD.

It really makes me quite angry, how heteronormative this cover is!

An ’90’s anthology with ‘cyber-‘ and ‘neuro-‘ on the front cover and William Gibson’s name is strangely absent.

No, Jeff Fahey, we’re still not impressed.

Will Self, of course, inventor of the Selfie

Wait.. “Cybersex including Martin Amis, Jeff Noon, Kathe Koja, Harlan Ellison, Lisa Tuttle, Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. and many more…”
What kind of book is this?!

Right, worst song to have running through your head while you look at the cover? I think it’s a toss-up between Selena’s ‘Bidi Bidi Bom Bom’ and the West Ham cover of ‘Forever Blowing Bubbles’.

I didn’t read the title, first, I thought it was something like the ‘human centipede’.
Erotical, indeed!

@THX1138 Was that the phone ringing?

Masturbation and Will Self do seem to go together.

So judging by the cover, cybersex simulates fake intercourse with a lifeless plastic doll.
The irony is so thick you can cut it with a knife…

@admin, Bib, Tat: Let’s not make cheap jokes about Will Self, just because he associated himself with a book called Cybersex! We should exhibit some self-control. If anything, we need more Self love in here.
Addendum: The Super Mario 2 theme song is now stuck in my head…this goes from bad to worse.

Her: “Honey, this is NOT the right time to Vogue!!”

@Dead Stuff: I’ve got so many other reasons to make jokes about Will Self. And Martin bloody Amis.

Geez. I didn’t realize the extent of the star-studded list of authors that was in this collection until seeing it written out here. Which begs the question: what the hell were they thinking using this as a cover??
“Thanks for the story, Connie Willis, we’re gonna have a couple of barbie dolls doin’ it on the front!”

So… I’m having one of those flash backs… didn’t the classic film, lawnmower man do this? Which like all Hollywood movies is an accurate depiction of all things computery.
I seem to remember its something I promised not want to watch again.

One explanation for the cover may be a kind of repression. Unconsciously the editorial staff reasoned like this: “We want it sexy but not TOO sexy, so let’s remove almost all the sexy bits until it’s not-quite-sexy…”

@A.R.Yngve: I think you missed the word “cyborgasms“… *shudder*
June 13th, 2015 at 8:59 pm
Q: What is a “cyborgasm”?
A: A machine pretending to have an orgasm — in other words, not much different from real sex.

They seem to be phasing through each other.

Vonnegut was still alive and writing when this… thing was published. Would have loved to hear his comments on it.
