Cyberpunk: Stories of Hardware, Software, Wetware, Revolution, and Evolution

Unknown Author

4.9/5 (13820 ratings)

Description:Before email, before 'the web', before hackers and GPS and sexting, before titanium implants, before Google Goggles, before Siri, and before each and every one of us carried a computer in our pockets, there was cyberpunk, and science fiction was never the same. Cyberpunk writers, serious, smart, and courageous in the face of change, exposed the naiveté of a society rushing headlong into technological unknowns. Technology could not save us, they argued, and it might in fact ruin us. Now, thirty years after The Movement party-crashed the science fiction scene, the cyberpunk reality has largely come to be. The future they imagined is here.Contents: * Introduction (Cyberpunk: Stories of Hardware, Software, Wetware, Revolution and Evolution) • essay by Victoria Blake * Johnny Mnemonic (1981) / short story by William Gibson * Mozart in Mirrorshades (1985) / short story by Lewis Shiner and Bruce Sterling * Interview with the Crab (2005) / short fiction by Jonathan Lethem * El Pepenador / short fiction by Benjamin Parzybok * Down and Out in the Year 2000 (1986) / short story by Kim Stanley Robinson * Getting to Know You [North American Future] (1997) / novelette by David Marusek * User-Centric (1999) / short story by Bruce Sterling * The Blog at the End of the World (2008) / short story by Paul Tremblay * Memories of Moments, Bright as Falling Stars (2006) / short story by Cat Rambo * Rock On (1984) / short story by Pat Cadigan * Blue Clay Blues (1992) / novelette by Gwyneth Jones * The Lost Technique of Blackmail (2009) / short fiction by Mark Teppo * Fall of the House of Escher / short fiction by Greg Bear (variant of The Fall of the House of Escher 1996) * Soldier, Sailor (1990) / short story by Lewis Shiner * The Nostalgist (2009) / short story by Daniel H.
