'''''Mondo 2000''''' was a glossy [[cyberculture]] [[magazine]] published in [[California]] during the 1980s and 1990s. It covered [[cyberpunk]] topics such as [[virtual reality]] and [[nootropic|smart drugs]]. It was
''Mondo 2000'' originated as ''High Frontiers'' in 1984, edited by [[R. U. Sirius]] (pseudonym for Ken Goffman) and [[Queen Mu]] (Allison Bailey Kennedy). Sirius was joined by hacker [[Jude Milhon]] (a.k.a St. Jude) as editor and the magazine was renamed ''Reality Hackers'' in 1988 to better reflect its drugs and computers theme. It changed title again to ''Mondo 2000'' in 1989. Art director and photographer Bart Nagel, a pioneer in Photoshop collage, created the publication's elegantly surrealist aesthetic. Along with the print version of ''[[Boing Boing]]'' — with which ''Mondo 2000'' shared several writers, including [[Mark Frauenfelder]], [[Richard Kadrey]], [[Gareth Branwyn]], and [[Jon Lebkowsky]] — ''Mondo 2000'' helped develop what was to become the [[cyberpunk]] [[subculture]]. R. U. Sirius left at the beginning of 1993, at about the same time as the launch of ''Wired''. The magazine continued until 1998, with the last issue being #17.
