The Deliria events combine the hackerly exuberance of the tech underground with the prankster spirit. We will be resisting dystopia while dancing and japing amidst the new wreckage and the promise of its ruins to come.

A little history (very little, actually):

In June 2025, writer, musician, and main Mondoid R.U. Sirius and his allies sponsored Cyberpunks, Mutants & Mondoids Come to the Gulf of Deliria.

It was a (re-)gathering of the tribes, a mad convocation of the vibrant 1990s counterculture/technoculture. That event affirmed the spirit and resilience of The Others, those outside the moneyed techno-elites who seem determined to bring about an insane, anti-human technocratic feudalism.

The first Deliria event was a reminder that the countercultural “freaks in the machine” are still here, engaged in creative play with technology, its contexts, and its contents. With the Deliria theme, we enacted a mocking embrace of the metatextual madness that is 2020s America.

Now, we’re doing it again, returning to the Strait of Deliria for a two-day festival, bringing you even more media, music, joyfully corrosive performances, effervescent personalities, and zeitgeist-skewering prognostications.

We look forward to seeing an even larger, maniacally engaged gathering of cyberpunks, mutants, and mondoids on August 12 – 13 at Gray Area in San Francisco.
