I found this great 1993 magazine cover at Rudy Rucker's blog today. I started seriously getting into cyberpunk in the early- to mid-90s. I remember finding Richard Kadrey's "Covert Culture Sourcebook" a particularly useful resource. I was (and still am) instinctively enamored of nanotechnology, mind-uploading, genetic engineering, and such futurist philosophies as Extropianism.

Now, of course, you're hard-pressed to pick up a science fiction title that isn't cyberpunk in some critical fashion, even if it has "Golden Age" genre pretensions.

Speaking of Rucker, I've posted my review of "Master of Space and Time" here.
