Episode description
Cyber Nineties, the last decade of the 20th Century, plagued by Y2K bug hysteria and millennium paranoia, saw the rise of internet culture and full media saturation. Lost in the ecstasy of a weird wired world; people seemed to be mutating, but into what? Flesh machines? Was it the end of all humanity or just the dawn of a post-human cyberpunk dystopia?
