warren ellis apie laikus ir alternatyvą
A love letter to alternative culture, written in an era where alt culture no longer exists..
We're in Reynolds' "anachronesis" -- living in a time of constant, delusional recursion, in a limbo of a dozen different pasts. Re-enactment, like living as a medieval soldier for a never-ending Renaissance Faire. <..> Half the excitement about the online steampunk revival seems to source from the fact that it's only been done once before. That's what it comes to, in the anachronesis condition: it's exciting because it's only a bit old.
And it's that that "alternative culture" comes from -- the drive to do what's next and the impulse to make the sound no-one's heard yet.
