From the Publisher
PAUL SIZER ON THE REAL MOPED ARMY: "The Moped Army is the epitome of the vision that William Gibson had for the future in his writings about the cyberpunk culture. These guys ride around on old, reclaimed machines, yet communicate with cel phones and PDAs, and tape web cams to their handlebars and run them from PowerBooks crammed into their sidebags to make digital movies. They embody a very pure essence of punk culture, in that they make what makes them different their strengths. What is considered a liability is taken and made into an advantage. Most of the members of the Moped Army are kids who are the left of center/alternative crowd, very intelligent and savvy and very dedicated to this part of their lifestyle. This is not a 'purchase into the club' scenario; the Moped Army is all about sweat equity, investing time and heart into what you love doing, and being ready to defend that investment any way they have to."
From the Author
I wanted to find a format of story that would allow me to observe and introduce the Moped Army to a reader in the same way I discovered them, so the perspective gained by taking the story 275 years into the future allowed me to show the story to readers through the eyes of Simone, my lead character in MOPED ARMY. Her discovering them gives some objectivity to the story, rather than me saying "Wow, aren't these guys just the coolest?" Also, I liked the idea that an organization like the Moped Army would actually still be around in 275 years, or rather the need for what they represent would still be around. I'm more inspired by what they represent as a group than by the exact specifics of how they express it. I don't own or ride a moped (I look like a circus bear on a tricycle when I ride them), but I still really dig what they represent.
