Following the rapid evolution of cyberpunk from Bruce Sterling and William
Gibson into the current millennium, this vivid anthology welcomes a new
generation of exciting writers to take the genre in new and unexpected
directions. Cyberpunk freewheels with punk rock energy, careening between
the internet, bioengineering, and international politics, its influence
saturating entertainment and the mass media. Drawing on the traditions of
the pioneering cyberpunk manifesto, Mirrorshades, each story delves into
the gritty world of technological change. Legendary Mirrorshades editor
and contributor Bruce Sterling is back, alongside such cutting-edge writers
as Cory Doctorow, Jonathan Lethem, Gwyneth Jones, Hal Duncan, Charles Stross,
and Pat Cadigan. With a daring introduction from James Patrick Kelly and
John Kessel, editors of the controversial Feeling Very Strange:
The Slipstream Anthology, this collection is an exhilarating snapshot of
a vibrant literary movement.
