Bruce Bethke works and writes—and when time permits, lives—in beautiful, mosquito-infested, Minnesota. The author of the Philip_K._Dick award-winning novel, Headcrash, as well as a few other works, Bethke is at this date best-known for his 1980 short story, Cyberpunk. He is also responsible for the novel adaptation of "Wild Wild West."
Some years ago Bethke collected everything he had to say about the subject into an essay, "The Etymology of Cyberpunk," which can be found on his personal web site. Yet every spring, like the swallows returning to Capistrano, he gets deluged with email from earnest young students writing term papers who want to ask him the same six questions. The reason for this remains a mystery.
