William Gibson's dark visions of computer cowboys, bio-enhanced soldiers of fortune, and hi-tech lowlifes have won unprecedented praise. Included here are some of the most famous short fiction and novellas by the author of Count Zero and Neuromancer.
Fantastic collection of (mostly) cyberpunk from one of the masters of the genre. You can really see Gibson developing a lot of the foundations of the genre here in a variety of different stories. Individual story ratings below.
Short stories with a common thread of neuro-jacked interface with computers in a multinational scene. Some focus on fictional Russian space program. Some with underdog protagonists fighting (or trying to make it in) the system. Not my usual choice, but interesting concepts. Maybe I'll see if my grandson going into cybersecurity would like to read it next. ( )
Este volumen reúne los primeros cuentos de William Gibson, publicados originalmente en antologías y revistas especializadas. La mayoría de ellos estuvieron nominados para los principales premios del género (Hugo, Nebula, Locus). Dos de estos cuentos, Quemando Cromo y Johnny Mnemónico (origen de la película del mismo nombre protagonizada por Keanu Reeves en 1995), tienen como escenario el mismo universo de Neuromante, que se convertirá en el referente estético y tecnológico del movimiento ciberpunk.

Johnny Mnemonic: I put the shot gun in an Adidas bag and padded it out with four pairs of tennis socks, not my style at all, but that was what I was aiking for: If they think you're crude, go technical; if they think you're technical, go crude.
The Gernsback Continuum: Mercifully, the whole thing is starting to fade, to become an episode.
Fragments of a hologram rose: That summer Parker had trouble sleeping.
The belonging kid: It might have been in Club Justine, or Jimbo's, or Sad Jack's, or the Rafters; Coretti could never be sure where he'd first seen her.
Hinterlands: When Hiro hit the switch, I was dreaming of Paris, dreaming of wet, dark streets in winter.
Fragments of a hologram rose: But each fragment reveals the rose from a different angle, he remembered, but delta swept over him before he could ask himself what that might mean.
Hinterlands: And Saint Olga smiles out at us from the walls; yxou can feel her, all those prints from the same publicity shot, torn and taped across the walls of night, her white smile, forever.
Burning chrome: And sometimes late at night I'll pass a window with posters of simstim stars, all those beautiful, identical eyes staring back at me out of faces that are nearly identical, and sometimes the eyes are hers, but none of the faces are, none of them ever are, and I see her far out on the edge of all this sprawl of night and cities, and then she waves goodbye.
