Edge culture

Culture is the attempt by man to realize the conceivable in the possible. -- Shulamith Firestone, 1970
Edge culture refers to culture at the edge of developments, such as the culture which is chief in the development of a state-of-the-art technology. (See: Bleeding edge.)
Any field that operates at the edges of transcending in development overlaps with edge culture. Edge is required in competition where the goal is to "outmaneuver" the perceived opponent. A competitor with bleeding edge technology or information may increase its chances of doing so. Development of instruments for military purposes has been quite leading in global edge culture, having spawned off technology that became the internet. A "prototype" internet in this history is the arpanet, deriving its name from a research institution that is by definition a part of edge culture: the Advanced Research Projects Agency.
