This ep, Cyberpunk Librarian comes in hot with a breaking story about two extremely niche library service providers in Ohio. It was a battle for the ages that actually happened in 2020 over the course of 9 months, and the story is both wilder and dumber than you can possibly imagine. Come for the creation of the "NCIS Hacker Scene Award." Stay for the revelation that we might actually be breaking this story here for the first time, for real. rss.com/podcasts/l0wl1f3 patreon.com/neondystopia discord.gg/M6fGZERb7Z And check out our homie at: https://cyberpunklibrarian.com/ | |||

This week, we enlisted a lotta help from CoinOps' longtime buddy: Daemon. There's more to this Ep than a mere review of The Matrix Resurrections. We go beyond the film to discuss what's beneath it, around it, and inside it. No one can tell you what that is. You have to hear it for yourself. Daemon's notes:
