Hello. My name is Andy Hawks, and I am the publisher of a new zine
called "[the] Infinite Edge". Information about the zine follows, but
for now I will give a quick overview of myself and the basic
intentions of this new zine.
For approximately two years now, I have been producing,
electronically, a text file entitled The FutureCulture FAQ. This
message is intended to be spread electronically, primarily, so I am
sure many will be aware of the jargon used here. But for those that
are not, FAQ stands for Frequently Asked Questions and is a guide or
handbook if you will. My FutureCulture FAQ file then, pertains to
varying aspects of, as the name implies, culture in the future.
This file arose out of an interest primarily in cyberpunk fiction,
particularly the idea that "cyberpunk is really about the present".
>From there, the spectrum of information contained in the FutureCulture
file spread to include a wide snapshot of aspects of modern culture
that are ahead of the mainstream, oriented towards the near-future.
This includes all realms of what is commonly called "new edge",
"technoculture", or "cyberculture" -- a mishmash of postmodernism,
psychedelics, hacking, raves, cyberspace, industrial music, cyberpunk
fiction and realities, etc., that are proving to be important
constructs in the evolution of world culture.
The file continues to grow and morph, and the initial response to it
prompted me to begin the FutureCulture E-List. Those who share an
interest in the topics discussed in the file can participate in
in-depth or light-hearted discussions via the FutureCulture E-list,
which has proven to be an interesting and unique addition to the
vastness of cyberspace.
Readers and participants in FutureCulture have included at one time or
another a wide variety of sociologists and anthropoligists, authors
and writers, hackers, scientists, students, and prominent "cyber-"
oriented figures.
For a long time, I have dismissed print media in wake of the
interaction I saw occuring via e-media, such as the FutureCulture
list, and I would be one of those to shun society's love affair with
paper in wake of advancing computer and networking technologies. Yet
through a seemingly unending discussion regarding the scope of the
popular phrase "information wants to be free", I have found my love
affair with e-media to in fact be quite out of date. That may seem
contradictory to some, yet if we are truly to arrive at an infoculture
of global real-time interaction via cyberspace, we must first look at
the world in which we currently inhabit. We live in a world where
paper and television are the informational messangers of choice to the
masses.
Thus, in an attempt to further propagate information to as wide an
audience as possible, I have begun [the] Infinite Edge zine.
The zine will be printed in black & white and 8 1/2 x 11", using
Macintoshes and laserprinters. Below follows a basic text outline of
what [the] Infinite Edge will look like sans graphics and design, of
course.
I am looking for submissions and assistance with this project from all
angles: fiction writers, essayists, ranters, graphic designers,
artists, poets, etc. Submissions are welcome in any form, in any
style, in any tone, though that is not a guarantee that everything I
receive will be printed. I am looking for submisison as soon as
possible, but feel free to send them in whenever you like. For first
issue, send them in by the end of March.
Due to lack of available resources, I am unable as of yet to reward
monetarily those who contribute to [the] Infinite Edge. I have little
money, and my primary interest is producing the highest-quality zine
possible, containg an immense spectrum of information.
If you would like to contribute to [the] Infinite Edge in any way,
shape, or form, please send all queries, submissions, tips, words of
wisdom, etc., to me on the Internet at:
ahawks@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
If you do not have Internet access, please send mail to:
Andy Hawks
4290 South Mobile Cir. #D
Aurora, CO 80013
USA
By the way, I am looking at offering [the] Infinite Edge at a cost of
$3 per issue. The first issue is not completed yet, but if you are
anxious, please contact me via email or snail mail. Groovy.
