Rock On

'''Cadigan, Pat. "Rock On."''' 1984. Mirrorshades: The Cyberpunk Anthology. Bruce Sterling, ed. New York: Arbor, 1986. New York: Ace, 1988.

Cyberpunk tale of symbolic rape, drugs, rock'n'roll, and a "sinner": a human synthesizer who brings together with her moderately cyborgized body and brain the music of a rock group. Note Gina, the sinner, "in the pod with all my sockets plugged" (39). Cf. and emphatically contrast the Weaver in the Foretelling episode (ch. 5) in Ursula K. Le Guin's The Left Hand of Darkness (1969).
