Synopsis
In Synners, the line between technology and humanity is hopelessly slim. A constant stream of new technology spawns crime before it hits the streets; the human mind and the external landscape have fused to the point where any encounter with "reality" is incidental.

Ambitious, brilliantly executed . . . Cadigan is a major talent
Read Synners now, before it happens

Octavo, boards. First British (and first hardcover) edition. "In a near-future society heavily dependent on the interfaces between human beings and artificial intelligences, computer viruses cause a plague of mysterious deaths. Exhilarating cyberpunk with a contortuplicated plot." - Pringle, The Ultimate Guide to Science Fiction, second edition, p, 361. "Like William Gibson's cyberpunk novels -- and unlike Bruce Sterling's -- SYNNERS offers no sense that the Conceptual Breakthroughs that proliferate throughout the text will in any significant sense transform the overwhelming urbanized world, though there is some hint that the system may begin to fail through its own internal imbalances. At the heart of SYNNERS is the burning presence of a future which offers little release." - John Clute, SFE (online). Winner of the 1992 Arthur C. Clarke Award. Anatomy of Wonder (2004) II-204.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First UK edition, the first (and still only) hardcover edition. On its copyright page: "Published by HarperCollinsPublishers 1991" and full printing line with "1". This book is warmly inscribed by author Pat Cadigan on its title page, "For AP With sex, drugs, rock 'n' roll and all the stuff that makes life worth living / Pat Cadigan / 25 Juine 96". This scarce, collectible book is in near fine condition, marred only by very light bumps on spine ends. Its binding is sound and square, with no spine crease. Covers are unmarked and otherwise unworn, with bright gilt titles on its spine. Pages are unworn and -- other than the author's inscription -- unmarked. Not a remainder. Its dust jacket, now protected by a removable mylar cover, is in fine condition: whole, bright, unmarked and unworn. I will ship this book in a moisture proof zip-loc bag, padded in bubble wrap, inside a sturdy box to assure it reaches its proud new owner in the same condition as my description.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Synners (1991) by Pat Cadigan. Published by Harper Collins (UK). First edition. First print. Signed by Pat Cadigan (signature only). Book and dust jacket are in Very Fine condition. Dust jacket is protected by mylar cover. Pat Cadigan is the most important first-wave female Cyberpunk writer, and with Synners she shatters Cyberpunk's male cowboy archetype and disrupts Cyberpunk's idealised masculine disembodiment of technological transcendence. Cadigan s thoughts on gender fluidity and hybridity form a bridge to second-wave feminist Cyberpunk literature. Signed by Author(s). Seller Inventory # ABE-1672915926040
