bOING bOING #7 (Boulder CO)

For a couple of years, bOING bOING had been calling itself "the world's greatest neurozine," however you want to define that. I always called it a "cyber zine" because of its connection to the fledgling online world. As far as I know, bOING bOING one of the first zines to pair technology and the 'net in an editorial capacity. Editor Mark Frauenfelder also did a great job of bringing on interesting, illuminating writers like Robert Anton Wilson (one of my personal faves, and a mad thinker that was still decades ahead of the rest of us at the time of his death), Antero Alli, Gareth Branwyn and even Frauenfelder himself and his wife Carla.
