NP postmodernism stutters

[Dave Monroe]

Thanks for the links 'n' excerpts, Otto.  Blade Runner is of much
interest 'round these parts.  And, if you're not already, get hip to
these tips ...

Bukatman, Scott.  Blade Runner.  London: BFI, 1998.

__________.  Terminal Identity: The Virtual Subject in Postmodern
    Science Fiction.  Durham, NC: Duke UP, 1993.

    San Francisco: HarperCollins, 1996.

The first one is one of those little but eminently useful BFI Modern

you were, of both Brian Massumi and reader's guides to Deleuze 'n'
Guattari (authors of Vineland's Italian Fake Book) ...

    Schizophrenia: Deviations from Deleuze and Guattari.

And this is forthcoming in March ...

__________.  A Shock to Thought: Expressions after Deleuze
    and Guattari.  New York: Routledge, 2001.

And this I reecnetly ran across, haven't read it yet, but it purports to
treat of cyberpunk, managing to include Pynchon therein ...
