While the plot of Headcrash is engaging, the main joy is the digs that Bethke gets in at the now-tired cyberpunk genre. Perusing a hall of chat rooms dedicated to fans of liquid nitrogen (cryopunks), "wankers who are pathologically into code-breaking and math puzzles" (cipherpunks) and fruit-based-beverage brewers (ciderpunks), Jack comes upon a "place full of young guys with no social lives, no sex lives and no hope of ever moving out of their mothers' basements . They're total wankers and losers who indulge in Messianic fantasies about someday getting even with the world through almost-magical computer skills, but whose actual use of the Net amounts to dialing up the scatophilia forum and downloading a few disgusting pictures. You know, cyberpunks." Ouch.
