Cybernetic Culture Research Unit was a name on a door in the Philosophy Department of Warwick University, UK, during the late 1990s. It was a rogue unit, blurring the borders between traditional scholarship, cyberpunk sci-fi, and music journalism. Its frenzied interdisciplinary activity, including the Virtual Futures and Virotechnology conferences and the journal Abstract Culture, disturbed Warwick's Philosophy Department, resulting in the termination of the unit.

Reviews

An engaging, eccentric anthology…it's refreshing to encounter a “left” project for the future that wants to reclaim the idea of technology, industry and planet-scale thinking.—J.J. Charlesworth, ArtReview
