“A wild and potent collection by some of the brightest new writers in science fiction, mixing technology with desire, flashing futures within a starred mirror.” —Roger Zelazny
“. . . filled with surreal visionary intensity. They are often sexy, occasionally lewd, always frightening, are filled with black humor, obsessed with the interface of high-tech and pop underground, and always fascinating.” —Fantasy Review
“The hip, musically literate high-tech movement known as ‘cyberpunk’ has rocked the once-nerdy precincts of ‘hard’ science fiction... Raymond Chandler on uppers.” —The Village Voice
“Cyberpunks thrive in a niche where high-tech and high-literature interface. They write hard-edged macrofiction that is ripe with ideas, gracefully written and appropriate to this age of instantaneous global communication and babies whelped in petri ishes.” —Wall Street Journal
“The high-tech language and experimental styles of Greg Bear, William Gibson and other new wave writers provide a kaleidoscopic vision of tomorrow’s brave new world.” —Library Journal
