The Big Book of Cyberpunk Vol. 2

The Big Book of Cyberpunk, Volume 2, edited by Jared Shurin, continues the landmark anthology with stories that trace cyberpunk’s evolution beyond its 1980s and 1990s origins — following the movement as it mutated, diversified, and influenced genre fiction worldwide. This volume expands the geographic and cultural reach of the first, presenting cyberpunk from Japanese, Chinese, and other non-Western traditions alongside the more familiar American and British strands. Together, the two volumes constitute the most comprehensive survey of cyberpunk fiction ever assembled. Published by Vintage, this second volume is essential for anyone who has read and loved the first, and a vital companion for understanding how a movement born in the anxieties of the Reagan era continues to evolve in an age where its most extreme predictions have largely come true.
