Sunday Summary Banner

So what did you miss this week?

This week’s edition of The Pandora Society was very Cyberpunk inspired as we considered its position in the ranks of retro-futurism, revisited at Blade Runner, looked at Virtual Reality, and had a Cyberpunk story. We also had our usual daily history report, Midsummer Masquerade updates, and a look at the future of airships . . . real ones!
