Customer Reviews

Excellent examples of cyberpunk

This book's cyberpunk stories from the masters to the newest makes one appreciate such complete books in this high tech genre of science fiction as: "Mona Lisa Overdrive", "Neuromancer", "Cryptonomicon", "Snow Crash", "Cyber Hunter", and many more.

Not strictly Cyberpunk, but a good read

Cadigan herself bemoans the "Ultimate" title of this book. But the stories inside are amazingly fresh, especially considering the copyright dates on some of them. I found it interesting to first, read the stories, and then turn to the beginning of the book to check the copyright date. The roots of the Cyberpunk literary movement are all here! I highly recommend it to true cyberfans.[webmail]

an excellent collection

not only does the book give you 16 pages of color, but you get William Gibson, Neal Stephenson and Alfred Bester for the price of admission.
