The Cyberpunk Apocalypse a History
The Cyberpunk Apocalypse was founded in March 2009 primarily as a reduced rent residency program and event space for readings and book clubs. Quickly the project branched out, and within two years had a short-term rent free residency program, a sporadically produced literary publication, take-a-book leave-a-book library, regular events, such as the monthly “Cool-off,” a working letterpress print shop, and a handful of published books from its residents to brag about. They Cyberpunk Apocalypse now also has a zine of the month subscription program, and an online store.
Early on, the project gained attention for being cold and getting raided during the Pittsburgh G20, but would eventually get press for our primary objective: aiding writers and comic artists here in Pittsburgh.
