In cyberpunk, geographical frontiers no longer exist and in their place are vast micro-electronic territories. One of the key roles of the expanding electronic information grid is to articulate a new social and geopolitical stratification based on the immediate access to data. The aim of cyberpunk is to create a state of temporary grid-lock in order to insert subversive messages of its own. The street finds its own use for things. It's all in the mix.
Information wants to be free.
Access to computers and anything which may teach you something about how the world works should be unlimited and total. Always yield to the hands-on imperative. Do It Yourself. Fight the Power. Feed the noise back into the system.
