Burning Chrome
Descriere
Best-known for his seminal sf novel NEUROMANCER, William Gibson is also a master of short fiction. Tautly-written and suspenseful, BURNING CHROME collects 10 of his best short stories with a preface from Bruce Sterling, co-Cyberpunk and editor of the seminal anthology MIRRORSHADES. These brilliant, high-resolution stories show Gibson's characters and intensely-realized worlds at his absolute best.

Despre autor
William Ford Gibson este un scriitor canadian de origine americană. Romanele lui de ficțiune speculativă i-au atras numele de „profetul întunecat” al genului cyberpunk. Gibson a inventat termenul de „cyberspațiu” în povestirea sa „Burning Chrome” (1982) și a popularizat conceptul mai târziu în romanul său de debut, Neuromantul (1984).
