  Mondo 2000 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mondo 2000 was a glossy ' cyberculture ' magazine published in California during the 1980s and 1990s.
Mondo 2000 originated as High Frontiers in 1984, edited by R.
It changed name again to Mondo 2000 in 1989.

 The evolution of the cybernetic counterculture
Mondo 2000, a glossy periodical that evolved from an earlier neopsychedelic zine [High Frontiers], incorporated this sociopolitical sensibility and blended it with their own peculiar sense of post-punk irreverence, drugged-up pranksterism, and high style.
Besides displaying strangeness and charm, early Mondo was the only popular representation of the hacker ethic, described by author Andrew Ross as "libertarian and cryptoanarchist in its right-to-know principles and its advocacy of decentralized knowledge.
In Mondo the technical world and the underground world of popular culture and street level anarchy are converging.

 The Konformist - RU SIRIUS FOR PRESIDENT
Mondo 2000 was a cultural magazine (focusing much of its space to subjects like cyberpunk literature, the rave scene, virtual reality, and alternative rock - back when it really was alternative) but did not shy away from politics.
Now in a year 2000 that is both as wired and mondo as Sirius once predicted, he has formed his own political party, The Revolution ( http://www.the-revolution.org), and decided to run for President.
Okay, maybe R.U. Sirius won't become president in 2000 (or 2004, or 2008, or any year for that matter.) Even so, he may just change the face of politics by rewriting what is considered "radical" politics.

 BOOK REVIEW of Mondo 2000
It is difficult to surmise the "true" purpose of Mondo 2000: A User's Guide to the New Edge, it appears, from it's title to be a dictionary for the unhip to learn current terminology of the new 'technoworld'.
An explanation for the "necessity" of this book might be found in a lengthy article entitled "The History of Mondo 2000" from SF weekly, October 11, 1995 (Volume 14 #35).
Mondo 2000: A User's Guide to the New Edge is not a dictionary or a glossary or even a "users guide" by any stretch of the imagination, it is a history and a story.

There was once a magazine named Mondo 2000.
As the co-publisher and Editor-in-chief of Mondo 2000, R.U. Sirius allowed many geeks from the late 80's to entertain thoughts of a Buck-Rogers type future fueled by emerging technologies and the relatively undiscovered, or at least under appreciated, Internet.
By the end of the 90's Mondo 2000 was gone and Wired had not only taken it's place, but brought fringe techno-journalism into the mainstream.

 It's Better to be Inspired than Wired
Mondo 2000 was a focus of a superficial "movement" that called itself cyberpunk, after the literary genre.
It's particularly sad and poignant for me to witness how comfortably the subcultural contempt for the normal, the hunger for novelty and change, and the basic anarchistic temperament that was at the core of Mondo 2000 fits the hip, smug, boundary-breaking, fast-moving, no-time-for-social-niceties world of your wired mega-corporate info/comm/media players.
The few people who really know about Mondo 2000 and what we did with very tiny resources will know that I'm being megalomaniacal but I may be right, everybody else will think I'm just being megalomaniacal.
