Ultimate Cyberpunk FROM OUR EDITORS
Cyberpunk fiction, those stories of man-machine interface and collision, continue to grow in popularity and, if it's possible, hipness. Pat Cadigan, already crowned by one reviewer as "the queen of cyberpunk," guides readers through decades of divertingly disturbing cyberpunk tales. Contributors include genre titans William Gibson, Alfred Bester, Philip K. Dick, Samuel R. Delany, Bruce Sterling, Neal Stephenson, Lewis Shiner, and Rudy Ruckert.
FROM THE PUBLISHER
In The Ultimate Cyberpunk, editor Pat Cadigan takes readers through the evolution of this influential science fiction genre, from the groundbreaking forefathers of the field such as Alfred Bester and Philip K. Dick, to the founding members of the cyberpunk movement, such as William Gibson and Bruce Sterling, and forward through such innovators as Lewis Shiner and Rudy Rucker.
In this special collection, Cadigan presents the cyberpunk world, in which reality and virtual reality intersect. The growing impact of the Internet on our sense of community, the seduction of a world behind the screen, and the inherent dangers of a society in which any information can be hacked, stolen, and sold are some of the topics explored by our best cyberpunk writers.
