The PUNK revolution bombarded Authority with the frenetic energy of music fuelled by primal rage. Centralisation is dead. Specialisation is for insects. The DIY attitude blasts through in the Cyberpunk album. It was recorded in a home studio controlled by a Macintosh computer.
Big technology is only interested in developing cheaper ways to control or kill more people.
Cyberspace is Authority's worst nightmare. It's easy to burn a book, or stomp on a protester's head, but much harder to stomp on electronic information. For too long, monolithic media institutions have been handing down their version of the truth. Authority implants living mind-viruses into your brain, turning you into their robot. You no longer have to be a consumer of someone else's version of the truth.
