Hi, this is Chris from Poland again from the “”No, I fixed it!”” debacle :-P. I’m now all caught up with the podcast. I just graduated from English Studies at the University of Warsaw. I thought I’d send you guys my MA Theis, as it deals with the cyberpunk fiction of William Gibson and Neal Stephenson (the novels “Neuromancer”, “Snow Crash” and “The Diamond Age”).

The Thesis explores the themes of innocence and individualism in American fiction and cyberpunk in particular. Check it out if you’re ever bored enough to start reading an academic paper ;-).

Cheers, Chris.
