Count Zero
Biolabs and Hosaka zaibatsus fight it out for world domination; computer cowboys like Turner and Count Zero are just foot soldiers in the great game: useful but ultimately expendable.
When Turner wakes up in Mexico - in a new body with a beautiful woman beside him - his corporate masters let him recuperate for a while; then reactivate his memory for a mission even more dangerous than the one that nearly killed him: the head designer from Maas Biolabs says he wants to defect to Hosaka; and it's Turner's job to deliver him safely.
Burning Chrome
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 Gibsons characters and intensely-realized worlds at his absolute best. Contains Johnny Mnemonic (filmed starring Keanu Reeves) and title story Burning Chrome - both nominated for the Nebula Award - as well as the Hugo-and-Nebula-nominated stories Dogfight and The Winter Market.
Neuromancer
William Gibson revolutionised science fiction in his 1984 debut Neuromancer. The writer who gave us the matrix and coined the term 'cyberspace' produced a first novel that won the Hugo; Nebula and Philip K. Dick Awards; and lit the fuse on the Cyberpunk movement. More than three decades later; Gibson's text is as stylish as ever; his noir narrative still glitters like chrome in the shadows and his depictions of the rise and abuse of corporate power look more prescient every day. Part thriller; part warning; Neuromancer is a timeless classic of modern SF and one of the 20th century's most potent and compelling visions of the future.
