Description
Best-known for his seminal science fiction novel Neuromancer, William Gibson is also a master of short fiction. Tautly written and suspenseful, Burning Chrome collects ten of his best short stories with a preface from Bruce Sterling, a co-Cyberpunk author and editor of the seminal anthology Mirrorshades.
These brilliant, high-resolution stories showcase Gibson's characters and intensely realised worlds at his absolute best. The collection contains "Johnny Mnemonic" (which was filmed starring Keanu Reeves) and the title story Burning Chrome, both of which were nominated for the Nebula Award. Additionally, it includes the Hugo and Nebula-nominated stories "Dogfight" and "The Winter Market".

The vivid portrayals of cybernetic futures and their impact on individuals demonstrate the author's ability to pinpoint the effects of technology and corporate power.

About the Author
William Gibson was born in South Carolina in 1948. Educated in the USA, he emigrated to Canada in 1968 and retains dual nationality. Gibson began writing in 1977 and burst upon the literary world with his acclaimed first novel, NEUROMANCER, the book that launched the cyberpunk generation, and the first novel to win the holy trinity of science fiction, the Hugo, Nebula and Philip K. Dick Awards. Although best known for his early cyberpunk novels, Gibson's work has continued to evolve over the ensuing years, always casting an astute critical eye on modern societal trends. In 1999 The Guardian praised him as 'probably the most important novelist of the past two decades'. His most recent books include ZERO HISTORY and THE PERIPHERAL.
