Hi, I'm posting this in reply to the many who asked me to forward them the info
I found.
After some time and many, many messages received but especially many
e-messages sent (and returned back) I managed to discover SOME (I'm sure I
haven't dug very deeply) of the CP and underground stuff accessible thru the
net.

First of all I want to mention an important source I didn't consider at the 
beginning: the alt.cyberpunk FAQ files (2). It lists (in the 2nd half) many
zines dealing with CP stuff (Mondo2000, bOING bOING...) together with adresses
and phone #.
I'd like to add the bOING bOING editor's e-address in case you want to
subscribe: mark@well.sf.ca.us  (He has been EXTREMELY kind with me).

BTW I found the Mondo e-address given in the FAQ is unreachable, I'm not sure
that's because I'm in Italy...

In the same vein as MONDO, check out FUTURE SEX. Glossy cybersex, MONDO 
with nudity, some interesting articles (Kadrey on VR), some good photos. 
The second issue should be out in the states sometime in November. The 
first was okay, but sexist and kinda limited (so many possibilites for 
cybersex, and it barely touched on them), but the editor has promised 
much better for the second. Here's their address:

FUTURE SEX
Lisa Palac, editor
1095 Market Street
San Francisco, CA 94103

One of the best sources for counter-culture tech and thought is those 
wonderful hippies/techies who brought you the Whole Earth Catalog. Now 
their 'zine is called COEVOLUTION QUARTERLY and it's great: gizmos, 
sociology, architecture, logical technology, and computer whizz-bang. 
Can't come too strongly recommended. You can reach them through their 
other Great Work: The Well--which, if you don't know about it, you 
should. Probably the best freedom of information pool in the world. And 
while you're there, check out FACTSHEET FIVE on their system--it's the 
most comprehensive listing of small press (and frequently cyberpunk) 
magazines and fanzines out there. Here's their E address:

THE WELL
E-Mail: info@well.sf.ca.us

Another zine very recommended (but I haven't seen it yet) is 2600 (check out
the FAQ for more details).

Now for the more underground stuff: first of all visit ftp.eff.org.
It's the greatest collection of CP e-mags  I have ever seen.
You can find every issue of mags dealing with everything from hacking,

And now some mailing lists, to subscribe, as usual, send a message saying so.
Future Culture: future-request@nyx.ds.du.edu
(when you subscribe you should receive Future-Culture FAQ file another GREAT
source of other addresses and FTP sites -I found there ftp.eff.org-)

NIA:       nia@nuchat.sccsi.com

Journal of information:   inform@doc.cc.utexas.edu

EFFector online: EFF@EFF.org


That's all you need to know to start digging the ground, to get deeper and
deeper just contact all the groups you find mentioned in any source, and go on.
This is similar to an advice I received -and I think it's really precious-,
make an 'info-tree':start with something 'above-ground',e.g. Mondo [or Usenet], 
then send for all the info you find, especially those 
regarding other publications, then repeat this until you know everything 
possible. Good luck!!

If you need any more help just ask me, I'll try to do my best,

				Gianluca
