(Original Review, 1985)Isn't that just the thing? With the digital world, social media and the online life, comes an entirely new kind of creeping, monolithic conformity. When everywhere you go cookies are recording your choices, advertising companies can predict your needs and your boss is your fri...
Initial reaction: Probably 3.5 stars. There are some really interesting and good stories in the mix included here, and only a few that didn't really strike me all that well, whether it was the fact some of them were random and not necessarily what I would term cyberpunk, or that some of them seemed ...

If this book were a guy, and we were having "that talk," I'd say, "It's not you, it's me."This is the kind of wacky SF that relies on the use of a protagonist who is perpetually confused, and who transfers that confu...

I read this in college, not for a class but just because it sounded interesting. I was an English major with a fondness for the ideas of science, but lacking the patience to try to understand the mathematics of it all. This book was engaging and accessible, and opened my mind to new concepts. I wish...
