Sinossi
Ten brilliant, seminal, hard-edged, nerve-enhancing stories from the most influential science fiction writer of our time.
With a hard-edged, gloomy passion and intensely realized detail, these stories are a synthesis of pop culture, high tech and advanced literary technique.
In them Gibson charts the unchecked rise of multinational corporations and the addictively transcendent potential of cyberspace. Since they were first published in the 1980s, Gibson’s vision has become a universal touchstone. His lapidary prose seethes with buzz-phrases newly minted yet destined to be current well in to the future.
Lowlife characters, ghosts and hallucinations mingle to their mutual peril in the malls and plazas of an intensely realized holographic name-brand society. Cloned Ninja bodyguards and retro fashions, voodoo and deadly cyber criminals: here is a heady mix of imagery delivered with exaggerated clarity against a constant subliminal hum of high tech.

Informazioni sull?autore
William Gibson was born in the United States in 1948. In 1972 he moved to Vancouver, Canada, after four years spent in Toronto. He is married with two children.
Dalla quarta di copertina
Ten brilliant, seminal, hard-edged, nerve-enhancing stories form the unchallenged guru, prophet and voice of the new cybernetic world order and virtual reality. The stories, with their vivid cast of lowlife characters in an intensely realised high-tech world, paint an instantly recognisable portrait of the modern predicament.
'Fast, witty and lovingly polished'
GUARDIAN
'Gibson may have taken his raw data from unsuspecting hackers, but with his visions of computer cowboys on a new technological frontier, he gave them back an identity and a set of ennobling myths.'
THE FACE
'Quick, high-intensity glimpses that linger on the retina of the imagination.'
NEW YORK TIMES
'He's at his best dealing with the victims of the new, the people burnt out by drugs, computers, huge corporations or the strangeness of space'
