easter 1998
A cybergothic text that turns horror, cyberpunk, and inhuman modernity into a single speculative prose-machine.

What survives here
Cybergothic uses horror as a way of thinking infrastructure, capital, and posthuman transition. The gothic is not just a mood but a mode for registering forces that outstrip ordinary humanist realism.
The prose fuses market language, extinction pressure, science-fiction imagery, and occult atmosphere until style itself becomes a conceptual engine. Tone and thesis intensify together.
That matters because the archive's gothic writing is one of its most distinctive methods for making technological modernity feel uncanny, infernal, and objectively hostile to secure human identity.
Reading note
Read for the collision between atmosphere and infrastructure. The strongest passages are the ones where horror imagery carries political or technocultural force.
Avoid translating everything back into plain literary symbolism. The gothic material is operating as theory.
