Can you distinguish a "cypherpunk" genre from a "cyberpunk" genre, and is it a worthwhile distinction, and what are the features ?
Yes, it is worthwhile. Good luck finding anything that is remotely acceptable.
Quick tip: Anything that Choate recommends, avoid.
You could search on politechbot.com for "cypherpunk," I presume. Or wired.com.
Take anything Declan says with a grain of salt, too - he leaves the "CDR" in the subject line. Just do some searches on the two terms, and if you have two brain cells to rub together, you'll figure it out in fairly short order. Once you have a better idea what the difference between the two is, you'll be in a better position to ask relevant questions. Reese
