You asked for it, a lot. We wanted to do it, really we did, but we have lives, jobs, kidz in college. And so, Beyond Cyberpunk!, the “classic ” HyperCard ebook that I, Peter Sugarman, Mark Frauenfelder, Jim Leftwich, and a cast of tens, created in 1991, was…well… Beyond Cyberspace. Until now. And, in the end, we didn’t even do the conversion (see sorry excuses above). In the true DIY spirit on which BCP was built, a fan of the project, Stephen Young—whose uncle bought him the stack for a birthday present when he was 11 or 12—took it upon himself to port it to HTML (on a Linux box, using Basilisk II). Thanks so much, Stephen. You rawk! A copy of my robot book is on its way to you as a small token of our appreciation.
Before StreetTech, before BoingBoing.net, before Wired (before the World Wide Web, even), there was Beyond Cyberpunk!, a desktop-based “universe of interconnected hypermedia documents,” created by many of the same people who went on to help create these cybermedia ports of call (among others). Take a trip “20 minutes into the future,” a future that has long ago been overtaken by the present.
