Before email, before “the web,” before hackers and GPS and sexting, before titanium implants, before Google Goggles, before Siri, and before each and every one of us carried a computer in our pockets, there was cyberpunk, and science fiction was never the same.

Cyberpunk writers—serious, smart, and courageous in the face of change—exposed the naiveté of a society rushing headlong into technological unknowns. Technology could not save us, they argued, and it might in fact ruin us. Now, thirty years after The Movement party-crashed the science fiction scene, the cyberpunk reality has largely come to be. The future they imagined is here.

In this book, you’ll find stories by legendary cyberpunk authors like Bruce Sterling and William Gibson, as well as stories by new cyberpunk voices like Cory Doctorow and Jonathan Lethem. You’ll find stories about society gone wrong and society saved, about soulless humans and soulful machines, about futures worth fighting for and futures that do nothing but kill.

Welcome to your cyberpunk world.

在电子邮件之前，在网络之前，"在黑客、GPS和短讯之前，在钛合金植入物之前，在谷歌护目镜之前，在Siri之前，在我们每个人的口袋里都装着一台电脑之前，就有了赛博朋克，而科幻小说从来都是这样的。

赛博朋克作家们严肃、聪明、勇敢地面对变革，揭露了一个急于进入技术未知领域的社会的幼稚性。他们认为，技术无法拯救我们，事实上它可能会毁了我们。现在，在 "运动 "狂欢摧毁了科幻界的30年后，赛博朋克的现实已经基本形成。他们想象的未来就在这里。

在这本书中，你会发现布鲁斯-斯特林和威廉-吉布森等传奇赛博朋克作者的故事，以及科里-多克托罗和乔纳森-莱特姆等新赛博朋克作者的故事。你会发现关于社会出错和社会被拯救的故事，关于没有灵魂的人类和有灵魂的机器的故事，关于值得为之奋斗的未来和除了杀戮一无是处的未来的故事。

欢迎来到你的赛博朋克世界。
