Mondo 2000, created by Ken Goffman (R.U. Sirius) and originally called High Frontiers, definitely found itself in a tradition of literary counterculture that reached back to the Beats. Mondo was full of contributions from psychedelic veterans like Timothy Leary, Robert Anton Wilson, William S. Burroughs, and Terence McKenna. Hippy meets hacker. And it was a primordial soup of cyberpunk with authors like William Gibson (Neuromancer), Douglas Rushkoff (Cyberia), Donna Haraway, Rudy Rucker, and Bruce Sterling (Mirrorshades). It was a new literary mutation—“New Edge”—where psychedelic counterculture embraced technology in a wildly anarchic, mystical and punkish way. MONDO 2000 at http://Mondo2000.com
