Yesterday I wrote about the Ex Machina soundtrack, but linked to an hour long loop of one of its tracks. Whoops. The whole soundtrack is equally great, go find it. Similar stuff on youtube lead to 9980 by CONNECT.OHM .

The Science Fiction podcast magazine I listed to, StarShipSofa has had some great CyberPunk stories recently.
