More about the book

This vivid anthology showcases the evolution of cyberpunk, welcoming a new generation of writers who push the genre into innovative territories. With a punk rock spirit, cyberpunk navigates the realms of the internet, bioengineering, and global politics, leaving a significant mark on entertainment and media. Drawing inspiration from the pioneering manifesto, Mirrorshades, each story explores the gritty realities of technological transformation. The collection features contributions from legendary editor Bruce Sterling alongside contemporary authors such as Cory Doctorow, Jonathan Lethem, Gwyneth Jones, Hal Duncan, Charles Stross, and Pat Cadigan. An engaging introduction by James Patrick Kelly and John Kessel sets the stage for this exhilarating snapshot of a dynamic literary movement. The anthology includes stories like “Bicycle Repairman” by Sterling, “Lobsters” by Stross, and “When Sysadmins Ruled the Earth” by Doctorow, among others. Each piece reflects the genre's essence, offering diverse perspectives on the future shaped by technology. This collection is a testament to the enduring and evolving spirit of cyberpunk literature.
