The short story collection that, well, collects Gibson’s stories that built the foundation for the Sprawl-trilogy. It contains ten stories, of which I remembered the grand total of three – re-read books, people, you’re in for surprises.

The probably most widely recognized of these stories will be Johnny Mnemonic, given the movie of the same name; the titular Burning Chrome around the Blue Lights-Run and the Gernsback Continuum about glimpses in another past’s future were the others stuck in my head.

Most of the stories fall under the cyberpunk-umbrella, with a few that are more -adjacent scifi, and without fail they are good ones.
