Cyberpunk: Stories of Hardware, Software, Wetware, Revolution, and Evolution - Victoria Blake

\n \nBefore email, \n before the world wide web, \n before hackers, \n Before sexting, \n before always-on GPS, \n before titanium implants, \n before Alexa, Cortana, and Siri, \n before the computer in your pocket was more powerful than the one that sent astronauts to the moon, \n there was cyberpunk.\n \nAnd science fiction was never the same.\n \nCyberpunk writers--serious, smart, and courageous in the face of change--exposed the naivet of a society rushing headlong into technological unknowns. Technology could not save us, they argued, and it might in fact ruin us.\n \nNow, thirty years after The Movement party-crashed the scene, the cyberpunk reality has largely come to be.\n \nThe future they imagined is here.\n \nWith an introduction by Victoria Blake and stories by: William Gibson, Bruce Sterling, Jonathan Lethem, Kim Stanley Robinson, David Marusek, Benjamin Parzybok, Cat Rambo, Paul Tremblay, Pat Cadigan, Gwyneth Jones, Mark Teppo, Greg Bear, Lewis Shiner, Rudy Rucker, James Patrick Kelly, John Shirley, Daniel H. Wilson, Paul Di Filippo, and Cory Doctorow.\n \nWelcome to your cyberpunk world.\n
