	The Story That Was Plugged In (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The Story That Was Plugged In The Story That Was Plugged In Cyberpunk is, as its authors would have it, a revolutionary new genre.
		The Girl Who Was Plugged In is an exquisite example of cyberpunk, although it was published about a decade before the Movement.
		The story examines characters on the fringe of society; characters who are unaccepted and unaccepting of mainstream society.

	Veronica Hollinger- (Re)reading Queerly: Science Fiction, Feminism, and the Defamiliarization of Gender
		These oppositions structure the conflict between Deirdre, who plans to resume her performing career in spite of her cyborg status, and the two men who are closest to her, Maltzer, her "maker," and John Harris, her adoring manager, who is also the point-of-view character in Moore’s text.
		Tiptree’s politicization of gender in this story intersects with her critique of the society of the spectacle—the parallels between "The Girl Who Was Plugged In" and Moore’s earlier story are both intriguing and suggestive.
		As Frankenstein argues to himself, the Creature "had sworn to quit the neighborhood of man and hide himself in deserts, but she had not; and she, who in all probability was to become a thinking and reasoning animal, might refuse to comply with a compact made before her creation" (150).

	Serhat's Definition of Cyberpunk
		Another example is seen in "The Girl Who Was Plugged In", because the author took much care in trying to explain the possible scientific advances, yet again the major theme in the story is the character's struggle to find her individuality amongst the technology.
		A common setting in a cyberpunk story is the individual who is unwilling to fully conform to a society where technology is so prevalent that it controls the characters.
		One only needs to read "Freezone" and "The Girl Who Was Plugged In" to see that the individual's major character flaw is that he is unable and unwilling to conform to the society where technology dominates.

	Girl With a Pearl Earring
		When Tracy Chevalier penned Girl With a Pearl Earring, a novel that eventually sold more than 2 million copies worldwide and became the launching pad for this movie, she was inspired by a poster in her bedroom of Johannes Vermeerâs painting of the same name.
		The newest of these is 17-year-old Griet, who has been forced into the job market following a kiln explosion that disabled her father, a tile painter.

	Review of James Tiptree Jr.'s Warm Worlds and Otherwise
		"The Girl Who Was Plugged In" is an extended meditation on the nature of the body and its relation to the media.
		GTX is a company that raises perfect and beautiful clone bodies, gives the clone bodies remote-control operators who will follow orders, and sends the clones out into the jetset society of the world (which is heavily covered in tabloid-style media), all in the hopes of influencing the buying habits of the common folk.
		Burke is an ugly woman who tries to commit suicide; GTX rescues her and gives her control of a clone body named Delphi.

	Her Smoke Rose Up Forever by James Tiptree, Jr. -- Back in print at last! (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		That all of her work -- with the exception of a single "loose ends" collection that was published three years ago -- has been out of print for years is, in our opinion, a negligence that borders on the criminal.
		The Girl Who Was Plugged In, one of her most widely lauded stories, chooses a particularly graphic metaphor to describe the insidious hidden cost of humanity's ever increasing dependency on escapist media entertainment.
		Many of Tiptree's most successful stories explore alien lives and societies, and their interactions with humans with such depth and empathy that sometimes it's hard to keep in mind that she's making it all up (or is she?).

		Alice Sheldon, a clinical psychologist who wrote science fiction as "James Tiptree Jr.," was a candle who burned fast and bright.
		I read much of it as it appeared, in magazines and original anthologies, and I was as taken as everyone else with the focus and literary richness of her style and with the electric impact produced by the content of what she wrote.
		Tiptree is not for readers who like their fiction safe and cozy, knowing everything will turn out all right in the end.

		In class, we have acknowledged and debated the politics of Joanna Russ’s story "When It Changed." Also problematic is the character of Janet, who was a particularly divisive element in class discussion.
		Intertextual criticism is used to compare the works of one author to each other, or can be used to compare the works of authors who work within the same genre (for example, Salman Rushdie and Gabriel Garcia Marquez and their novels can be compared because both men work within the genre of magical realism).
		The intertextual approach is not too far removed from the archetypal approach because both look at literary conventions, of which archetypes are a part.

		So although it is men in 'The Screwfly Solution' who are the aggressors, and there is an implication that their violence towards women is inherent and simply exagerated by the aliens, I got the impression that Tiptree blamed the women for putting up with the situation as much as she did the men.
		Also in 'Love is the Plan, the Plan is Death', the predatory aspects of love and sex are part of both genders at different times, and it is the males that (think they?) are trying to change the situation.

		Matthew Hoyt submitted a cite for the form "holocam" from a 1989 reprint of James Tiptree's "The Girl Who Was Plugged In"; Mike Christie verified the cite in a 1975 reprint.
		As far as Luke could tell, there were no holocams or viewers in the stairwell: only a close-crowding monotony of permacrete walls, grimy with the brown tracks of drochs.
		Realtime holocams reproduced the crystal sphere in which the girls were dancing, a sphere rising through a clear green sea shot through with bright bacterial streamers.
