Salon reviews Paulina Borsook’s “Cyberselfish”, which denounces high-tech culture as pitiless, egotistical and (ugghh!) libertarian. Does it matter that squabbles prevented it from coming to press until five years after it was written? Time warp: “She’s especially talented at sketching
caricatures and does so throughout
“Cyberselfish,” where we meet a host of
cypherpunks and nerverts (nerds who
indulge in unusual sex), ravers and gilders,
entrepreneurial newts and programming
flamingos. Her sketches are true enough that
you nod and think, yeah, I know the type.
Indeed, at its best, “Cyberselfish” reads like
the “Radical Chic” of mid-1990s San
Francisco.”
