I am Yorkered

About a year ago I got a call from New Yorker writer Chris Byrd, who asked about my connection to the Cyberpunk 2020 RPG and the soon-to-be-released video game Cyberpunk 2077. A lengthy interview followed, along with a series of emails.

The article was scheduled for January 2021, then shifted to June. When June came and went, I figured the article had been cancelled as no longer timely. Then, a few days ago, I got a call from a fact-checker. Color me surprised!

Color me not-surprised to discover that the long interview and emails had been reduced to about one and a half paragraphs and a single quote. That’s typical of my interactions with major media, and this era of reduced expectations in general.

Anyway, here it is. It’s a very good article, it just isn’t about me.
