Review:
Ten brilliant, streetwise, high-resolution stories from the man who coined the word cyberspace. Gibson's vision has become a touchstone in the emerging order of the 21st Century, from the computer-enhanced hustlers of Johnny Mnemonic to the technofetishist blues of Burning Chrome. With their vividly human characters and their remorseless, hot-wired futures, these stories are simultaneously science fiction at its sharpest and instantly recognizable Polaroids of the postmodern condition.
About the Author:
Williams Gibson was the first author to win the Hugo, Nebula, and Philip K. Dick award also known as the “triple crown” of Science Fiction, on his debut novel Neuromancer. He lives in Canada and continues to write award winning critically acclaimed science fiction.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. First UK Edition/First Printing; A Very Good book in a Very Good dust jacket. A handsome copy of this collection of short stories by the author of "Nueromancer" and "Count Zero", scarce in collectible condition. This copy is in very good condition with a square tight binding, bright spine lettering on red boards, and clean, crisp pages; the book does show minor soiling to the text block, particularly to the top edge text block, and some light shelf wear to the spine ends, else near fine to fine. Housed in a bright, very good dust jacket that shows a small stain to the spine foot and lower edge of the panel, and some light soiling along the top of the panel and flap edges, again else near fine to fine. Overall, a clean, bright, and tight copy of the very rare 1st UK edition of this book by one of the most influential SciFi writers of the last 50 years, a writer that wrote about the internet before the internet existed, and coined the phrase "cyberspace" in the short story "Burning Chrome"; not remaindered, not price clipped, not ex-library; in archival protection.
