Description
Already a bestselling magazine, now a book, Mondo 200 is California's favourite guide to future lifestyles, telling readers how they can live in tomorrow's world today. Designed for the new millenium, it sets out to create its own virtual space, somewhere between science fiction, surrealism, futuristic fashion, bleeding-edge technology, mutant graphics, rock and roll, and deconstruction.Tags

Ah, Mondo 2000, how I miss you. A reference tome of sorts to cyberculture, circa 1992. Makes WIRED magazine look like pedestrian Muzak.
