Bruce Bethke is one of the founders of the cyberpunk genre and the man who invented the term "cyberpunk" itself. I love his short story of the same title which started it all!
Headcrash was his first novel and it's a crazy ride through the early days of cyberpunk.
Many authors and readers take the genre extremely seriously, some even see it as a political movement--which is, of course, total nonsense.
Others believe cyberpunk is dead while some purists don't want to touch anything that was written after 1990.
In Headcrash Bruce Bethke makes fun of this in a hilarious way. The book is a parody of the most common cyberpunk tropes and he even makes fun of the term cyberpunk itself.
At a certain point in the story, the hero of the book, a hacker named Max Kool is introduced to several secret groups in cyberspace. There are cryopunks, cipherpunks, ciderpunks...and the worst of them all: the cyberpunks.
This is clearly a very loving slap on the hand to those who complain there's not enough "punk" in cyberpunk...
Sadly, this wonderful book is out of print and hard to come by. But if you can find it somewhere secondhand, I highly recommend giving Headcrash a shot. It's brilliant and a must-read for all cyberpunks!
