Walter De Brouwer set up Riverland Publications with the help of Bill Ziff in 1990 to publish personal computer magazines in the Benelux. In 1994, when Ziff announced the sale of the publishing empire to Forstmann Little & Company, De Brouwer sold his titles to VNU. He then published WAVE, the 'techno-anarchist' gigazine, and Mondo 2000, with which it shared some writers such as R.U. Sirius, went into cyberpunk history. The magazine, edited by Michel Bauwens and designed by graffiti legend Niels Shoe Meulman, was put on display in the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
