Apparently cyberpunk is not dead yet. It's been revivified, given some more bioware (the concept, not the company) and back with a vengeance for a decade that's looking disturbingly more like the eighties than anyone would really wish.
Anyway, Escapology is the love child of Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash and Steven Hall's Raw Shark Texts. It has the hacker aesthetic, gray morality and skateboarding—sorry, blading aesthetic of the former coupled with the mind screwing, AI take-overing, quest aesthetic of the latter. Oh, and the fish.
Two strange tastes that taste great together.
