About this episode
This episode covers 'The Girl Who Was Plugged In' by James Tiptree Jr., exploring themes of technology and identity.
This week we are covering The Girl Who Was Plugged In by James Tiptree Jr. Tiptree is a pen name for Alice B. Sheldon who wrote a number of science fiction stories in the 60's and 70's. This one is a short but very well done story about an ugly girl who, through some fancy tech, gets to be pretty... with a few notable strings attached, or wires if you will. The High Tech Low Life Podcast is a retrospective of cyberpunk fiction across all forms of media. Film, Television, Literature, Games, and Music are all on the table. In each episode we will revisit the property, it's influences, it's prescience, and enshrine it in the chrome and neon halls of Neo Valhalla.
