About this title

Review:

"Killer apps outnumber the glitches in twenty short, bracing narratives of cyberpunk sci-fi." -Kirkus Reviews "This is the upgrade: the new, real sound of diverse futures, mad and magnificent, the world on a wire. Essential." -Warren Ellis, author of Gun Machine and Transmetropolitan "This is old-school cyberpunk written by new-school talent--the caliber of writers found in this book is like a dream-team of storytellers ready to hack your skull and implant their tales into your brain-meats. Cyber World gives the cyberpunk genre a much-needed reboot." -Chuck Wendig, New York Times bestselling author of Star Wars: Aftermath and Zer0es
