between the gas mask baby and the pripyat ferris wheel

Something close to [another étape of Hungarian cyberpunk] is coming along. Marvin, an active member of the LD50 community (which is, if you’re a new visitor here or something, the definitive Hungarian community portal for people with alternative minds and tastes for music and stuff) has his book of short stories published after a loooong time: entitled Külső gyermek (or Outer Child).
If you’re English, please be aware – his Hungarian takes a huge effort to translate into English, it’s not just ironic and gritty, it’s dense and has a few layers that are very hard to decode even for us, who’re into the same kind of stuff that he is. (Except for RPGs, of which he’s a massive fan. We’re not that much.) Book design made by me and if there is a god (or something close to it), it’ll make me redesign this into one fancy piece of art.
Here’s the original Hungarian press material and the thread of comments on ld50.hu











The television skies of Chiba City branded his brains in 1992. He hasn't recovered fully since. Re-wired his brain with a few years of FastTracker, hosted radio shows on the first .hu netradio for 4 years, went on to broadcast radio for another two. Worked on the absurd radio series Kónuszék, that actually led him to become a script writer for the multiple-award winning, New York Times-acclaimed animation Nyócker.
