Customer Reviews

classic cyberpunk!

I just can't believe some of the reviews this book has received. Obviously, these poor misinformed fools thought this was related to something else, or they are completely ignorant of the impact cyberpunk has had conceptually and thematically across all mediums of expression...not to mention the impact on the technologies of those mediums. This is an excellent short story collection...

Misunderstandings of idiots. . .

This book is not a novelization of the movie Hackers, it is a collection of short stories by some of the best SF writers (cyber or otherwise) out there today. Fans of Gibson's Neuromancer "series" will definitely approve, and Sterling is getting better with age if not his exposure to REAL technology. Heavy Weather ROCKED!!!!

I dont know anythig about it.

This is just a book of stories. I don't like cyberfiction, but it is just fiction. Plus since they are science fiction they are about hackers of the future or something not real ones. I don't know what kind of people hackers "really" are & I don't think the point of a FICTION collection is to tell me. As for the lame movie I don't think the stories are related to it.

It was ok but I would recommend it for older readers

The program was better but the book was more detailed,it is about a group of people hacking into computers I read it when I was 9 but I am an advanced reader for my age of 10. Claire Handel from Isle of Wight
