HIGH TECH LOW LIFE (fieldnotes)

Fieldnotes are the minisodes between full episodes where I answer your questions and ramble a bit. Shayari Mukherjee, a scholar in South Asia, sent me a three part question I haven’t stopped thinking about. Is “low life” a required part of cyberpunk? Can the main character come from the high life? And can the high life ever not be the villain? So I take them in order and detour through Westworld and Frankenstein, and end up somewhere I wasn’t expecting. Tell me where I’m wrong, I love to hear it!! Show notes: aslightlybetterpod.com/episodes/high-tech-low-life/ Free book club and more on Patreon Hosted and produced by Kire, better known as githugs PS I think about my patrons every time I hit record. Thank you for believing in me!!

Fieldnotes are the minisodes between full episodes where I answer your questions and ramble a bit.

Shayari Mukherjee, a scholar in South Asia, sent me a three part question I haven’t stopped thinking about. Is “low life” a required part of cyberpunk? Can the main character come from the high life? And can the high life ever not be the villain?

So I take them in order and detour through Westworld and Frankenstein, and end up somewhere I wasn’t expecting.

Tell me where I’m wrong, I love to hear it!!
