The Dose #2 - Get It While It’s Still Free!
Damage and company have put out another awesome edition of The Dose. This is the premiere source for detailing the cyberpunk movement and culture as it exists today.
In Case You’re Interested…The Dose #2 has a few fun nuggets for you cyberpunk movie aficionados. Yours truly has written a “Hidden Gems in Cyberpunk Film” article that starts on page 76. Also Indie Director Laszlo Kovacs, a regular contributor here for comments and in the meatspace forums, has his movie, UCF: Toronto Cybercide highlighted on page 102. But truly, if you haven’t had the pleasure of reading an issue of The Dose yet, you’re in for a treat. The entire issue is top notch, and you’ll be guaranteed to find MANY cool things you hadn’t even imagined existed. Based on the last issue, I’ve already gotten into Aural Vampire and a host of other music groups highlighted there. I’m sure this issue will be no different.
Where to Get it…The Dose is still free and is available for download (as are the previous issues) at: http://www.thedose.info/
I say “still free” because The Dose is quality enough that I wouldn’t be surprised to find this in print form in the near future. Also, you’ll find that The Dose website has recently been blog-enabled, which means we can all comment on their most cool articles now!

Kick Ass! Are you going to be a regular on DOSE, or is this just a limited run for you?

Oh I don’t know. Nothing’s been discussed. I did enjoy this though. I don’t think a hidden gems article would work very often so if I contribute elsewhere it would have to be something else. I have some thoughts for essays I’d like to do but again, I don’t even know if they’d work for DOSE.

Yea, you could probably get away with a single-topic Hidden Gems article only a couple of times - i.e. ‘Games you’ve never played’ or ‘Why aren’t you reading these’.
… still, there’s probably enough stuff out there for a page or two spread a season if you diversify, say something like 2 movies, one game, two novels, etc, etc. per article. It’d just be more work for ya though.

I was actually thinking of doing a series of essays here at some point, such as exploring man-machine interface concepts throughout most of cyberpunk movies, for instance. This would involve going through the different concepts, how they were used, what the trends have been, and how this is echoed in society. I suppose I could just as easily post it on DOSE first, and then here second if they were up for that. Again though, I haven’t talked to them about this.

Thanks a lot for posting this! I downloaded all of the issues but I haven’t gotten around to reading this one just yet. I’ve been obsessively researching video art since reading issue 00. I’ll probably read issue 02 tonight.

I’ve been dying for the next issue for about 10 months now…
