#32Earlier quoted context omitted.
They probably meant cyberpunk, since they mentioned the combination of techology and social impact. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberpunk
Cyberpunk is an aesthetic, Cypherpunk is sociopolitical. Thematically there is very little different between cyberpunk and steampunk.

#331) Apolitical. No editorializing. No political opinions what so ever. Just the absolutely facts.
That's it. There is enough out there already that you're way behind the curve. However, IMHO, if you produce something that is apolitical, and stays on the facts without allowing your personal political ideology to bleed through, it would be really wonderful.

Wired is a shell of what it once was. I've got issues going back to 1998 and it is sad. Today it's mostly fluffy pieces with maybe one longhorn, and 75% sponsored content or advertising.
But like another posted said, just go do it and see if it attracts an audience IMO.

#39If I can make one suggestion, it would be to honestly ask yourself if you are able to get and curate this content in a way that'd be compelling for others and not just yourself. If it seems like that may not be the case, perhaps get others involved in helping to curate? Not sure if that's the answer.
