Yawn.  CYBERPUNK: Virtual sex, smart drugs and synthetic
rock 'n' roll!  --TIME cover 8 February 1993.

Sure, but do they know how to set their umask values so that

(BTW, if you enjoy this, & you can get on the WELL, try some
of the other cyberpunk.gods from B. Sterling on.  Not that
they have anything much of interest....)
