He gained notoriety in the 90s cyberpunk time but from NYC.

The fact he sounds weird is interesting because it is really the degree that everything has become dominated by the culture of San Francisco.

It is the degree that Silicon Valley beat Silicon Alley. He is expressing the side that lost the culture but it could have gone the opposite way. Wallstreet money didn't have to go very far to get to Silicon Alley.

Pseudo.com was basically doing real audio/video podcasts from Silicon Alley in the late 90s. I don't think that whole scene really recovered from the dot com bust though.

There’s an awesome documentary on pseudo.com and the late 90s/ early 00 startup scene. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_Live_in_Public

It’s funny because there was a whole New York start up scene and basically none of them made it and all the big stuff that lived was west coast.
