The Big Book of Cyberpunk Vol. 1

The Big Book of Cyberpunk, Volume 1, edited by Jared Shurin, is a landmark anthology collecting the foundational and defining stories of one of science fiction’s most influential movements — the genre that imagined the internet before it existed, the surveillance state before it arrived, and the body-as-technology before anyone had a smartphone. From William Gibson and Bruce Sterling to Pat Cadigan and Lewis Shiner, this first volume surveys the movement’s origins in 1980s and 1990s science fiction, presenting the stories that shaped the genre and the culture it reflected and predicted. Published by Vintage, this is essential reading for science fiction enthusiasts, cultural historians, and anyone interested in understanding how a literary movement anticipated so much of the world we now inhabit.
