Still a teenager, and increasingly rolling her eyes at me when I have not heard of something on the Internet (“you’ve never been to 4chan?! I mean not that you’d want to go there but…”) or when I try to interest her in the quaint pastimes of my childhood–

“No thanks, I already tried to read it. It’s boring.”

“How can you think Neuromancer is boring? It’s cyberpunk! It’s cool and high-tech and stuff!”

“Mom. I like steampunk, not cyberpunk. Cyberpunk is boring.”

“You whippersnapper! I bet you don’t even say ‘cyberspace’ anymore, do you?”

“Huh? What’s ‘cyberspace’? Is that like being online?”

Please, just take me out to the glue factory now and have me recycled humanely. Preferably with some kind of brass steam-powered recycling engine made out of way too many gears, so it won’t shame my children.
