The High Tech Low Life Podcast: A Cyberpunk Media Retrospective

By: High Tech Low Life
  • Summary

  • The High Tech Low Life podcast is a review of cyberpunk media throughout the ages. Books, movies, TV, and even games and music are all on the table. The show takes a deep dive into the subject of each episode, relates it to modern life, and just for fun, gives it a rating based a number of criteria. The hosts are lifelong fans of the genre, and hope to revisit some beloved properties, and maybe shine some light on a few that slipped through the cracks.

  • Episode 69 - Hardwired Part 2
    Nov 20 2024

    We are back to finish up our recap of the classic cyberpunk novel: Hardwired by Walter John Williams. We got gun fights, we got dog fights, we got throat weasels, we got a plucky band of DIY revolutionaries taking on the capitalist class in air, land and space! What more could you ask for at a time like this? Once again Geoff from Astronomica serves as our trusted wing man.

    The High Tech Low Life Podcast is a retrospective of cyberpunk fiction across all forms of media. Film, Television, Literature, Games, and Music are all on the table. In each episode we will revisit the property, it's influences, it's prescience, and enshrine it in the chrome and neon halls of Neo Valhalla.

  • Episode 68 - Hardwired Part 1
    Nov 13 2024

    This week we are recapping the incredible cyberpunk novel by Walter John Williams: Hardwired. Though it may have flown under our radar, its influence can be seen throughout the entire cyberpunk genre, and it's a crime that we haven't gotten to it sooner. Seeing as it is the first week in November, 2024, we also do some incredibly dystopian election talk, the entirety of which is available on our patreon (the free tier, no money required). Thanks to Geoff from the Astronomica podcast for joining us on this one!
