mondo

The team behind Mondo were cyberspace missionaries spinning tales of a digital utopia, inspiring us to realize it.

After devouring Mondo 2000 in early 90s the early issues of Wired seemed sort of meh despite similar optimism.

Growing up in the midwest in the mid-90s, where scarcely anyone had heard of the Internet, Mondo was paradise.

It will be interesting to see if Mondo can overcome the issue Simple had.

Atom, a new challenger bank just got their banking license and Mondo (where I work) is on its way.

Ah, your anecdote reminds of this: There is an old mondo in Zen that best describes this state: A novice keeps nagging his master about the time required to experience enlightenment.

The bank that is the closest to this model (that I know of) is Mondo (due to be launching soon).

Their parents and older friends were all working with VR and the Internet and it was nothing like Mondo made it out to be.

John Perry Barlow ran in those circles (he interviewed Ted Nelson for one Mondo issue) and the EFF was a big presence in the hacker culture.

I worry that this will be the legacy of Mondo 2000 and its ilk.

This is really interesting, I'll keep an eye out for Mondo in the future.

I was one of the people behind Fringeware, well-acquainted with the Mondo crew.

In the mid-nineties, I discovered "Mondo 2000: A User's Guide to the New Edge" by chance in a discount bookshop.

A bit of google and wiki later, I read the surreal ending to his life: "[Klein] suffered a first heart attack whilst watching the film Mondo Cane at the Cannes Film Festival[...] Two more heart attacks followed, the second of which killed him on 6 June 1962.

Same here - had the full collection of Mondo's and Boingboings (it was way better as a magazine) and so on..

And that's the thing - so much of Mondo's value is in its context.

Also had a copy of the 'Mondo 2000 User's Guide' book.
