Cyberpunk! by Bruce Bethke:
Science Fiction Inventions, Technology and Ideas

"Bruce Bethke lives in St. Paul MN with his wife Nancy and an infant daughter, Emily. Beneath the exterior of a businessman and computer professional there beats the heart of an artist. His avocation is computer/electronic music. And now, here is his first published story. We wonder — what would his talents in combination produce?"
