So like elements in the story?

@lightofshadows, Generally the elements I use tend to come from both genres. Some of the elements are borderline fantasy, but executed in a science fiction way.

Electronic telepathy, a program on a computer that remote views a target. Except it's based on actual remote viewing in military style remote viewing. For example. Like in Magnet Girl Wireless, it's essentially a biohacker that repurposes remote viewing for use in secret surveillance operations against her government. She uses magnets to disrupt electronics.

Interesting. Now i understand what you mean as well.

@lightofshadows, I tell friends, imagine combining something like Life Of Pi, a magic realism novel. Or say 100 years of solitude.

Then set it in a futuristic setting, and make the MC a rookie computer hacker in a setting similar to William Gibson's The Sprawl.

It has a lot of elements of Magic Realism and Cyberpunk, but is really kind of its own thing.
