It was worth the time taken to read, and certainly enlightening. Some of the authors in the collection are new to me (in that I haven't read them before), but I'd certainly seek out more of their work, as well as the ones I know, from this collection. Petra, de Greg Bear. En un futuro post apocalíptico, cercano a la Edad Media, una catedral gótica esconde a humanos y a seres de carne y piedra. Me ha parecido muy bueno, aunque está más cercano a la fantasía que al cyberpunk.

Stove vive, de Pau di Filippo, por el misterio con el que es introducido el personaje principal dentro de un mundo lleno de contrastes, escondiendo perfectamente su característica principal, aunque siempre la hemos tenido delante. Soberbio.

Boys" by Marc Laidlaw captured the whole "youth in rebellion" thematic that I tend to associate with some parts of cyberpunk, so I definitely saw the aim in this account of a young group protagonists who have to face off against...well...400 Giant boys. I kind of pictured the 400 Boys being like the Boomers from the Bubblegum Crisis series, which...does not mean good things for the boys facing off against them. Overall score: 3.5/5 stars. Mientras leía he ido actualizando y puntuando cada cuento por separado y lo he recopilado en mi blog: Reseña: Mirrorshades: Una antología ciberpunk.

The creation of the reflective material, Polaroid, was constructed by Edwin H. Land. [2] These reflective sunglasses worked by bouncing the light off using the reflective material. This would keep away the suns rays from the sunglasses and the wearers eyes. Most glasses also had some sort of dark tint, providing extra shade and protection from the sun. [3] There are more mechanical dials for netrunning, cybernetics, armor, weapons, gear, reputation, and so on, but at its core Cyberpunk Red is quite straightforward. The Jumpstart Kit As a result, the first half of the 1980s was an idyllic period for this cadre, highlighted by the publication of Shiner’s Frontera (1984), the first volume of Shirley’s Eclipse series (1985), Sterling’s Shaper/Mechanist stories (1982–84) and Schismatrix (1985), and Gibson’s Neuromancer (1984). As Brown recounts, all “these people fed and cross-fed each other, passing around manuscripts, hammering out a vision of modern SF that more accurately reflected the future of the real world” (174–75). This story is a bit style over substance for me. The style is definitely there, definitely great, but in a story of this length, it was sometimes counter-productive, obscuring the content of the tale, acting as a barrier to understanding. Again, this would have been better as a longer story, with more time allowed for the style to become familiar to the reader. Sterling, Bruce (October 12, 2017). "Welcome to V.

Mirrorshades: Una antología cyberpunk’ (Mirrorshades: The Cyberpunk Anthology, 1986), es una recopilación de relatos a cargo de Bruce Sterling, que intenta ser una representación de este subgénero de la ciencia ficción (pequeña definición de cyberpunk: normalmente transcurre en un futuro cercano, distópico, dominado por megacorporaciones, donde se aúnan personajes marginales con alta tecnología, en una ambiente próximo al género negro, todo ello bajo una estética que recuerda a la película ‘Blade Runner’).

The narrator's voice is really strong and intimate. Well paced plotting, and it held my attention through the whole ride. One of my favorite stories in the collection. Overall score: 4/5 stars. Makes you susceptible. Receptive to subliminals worked in the design of signs, that gaudy kinetics, those f***ing on-off bulbs- makes you flash on the old computer-thinking models, binomial thinking, on-off, on-off, blink-blink - all those neon tubes, pulling you like the hypnotist's spiral pendant in the old movies" (John Shirley, Freezone).

I would have labelled this story as a post-apocalyptic science-fantasy tale personally, or just plain fantasy. Taken alone, I would question it being labelled as cyberpunk; taken as a part of this anthology, especially next to several other stories that don't fit my pre-existing boundary set for cyberpunk, it serves to further illustrate how broad and open the subgenre was in its nascent phase, how narrow a sliver of it has retained the label thirty years later. The style of prose, the voice, definitely fits with the other stories here, evern as the setting and tone departs markedly, and this voice seems to be the thing that emerges in this anthology as the critical focus of cyberpunk. This is not remotely a question of hope, aspiration or prophecy, but of communications engineering; connecting with the efficient intensive singularities, and releasing them from constriction within linear-historical development. Virtuality counterposes itself to history, as invasion to accumulation. It is matter as arrival, even when camouflaged as a deposit of the past. The transcendent evaluation of an infection presupposes a measure of insulation from it: viral efficiency is the terminal criterion. Intelligent infections tend their hosts. You better believe it. When the molecules start changing, you will recognize nothing, not even yourself.]

Schools are social devices whose specific function is to incapicitate learning, and universities are employed to legitimate schooling through perpetual reconstitution of global social memory. The meltdown of metropolitan education systems in the near future is accompanied by a quasi- punctual bottom-up takeover of academic institutions, precipitating their mutation into amnesiac cataspace-exploration zones and bases manufacturing cyberian soft-weaponry freezone джона ширлі — ось він, ТОЙ САМИЙ чистокровний кіберпанк про підстаркуватих рокерів, що збираються зіграти свій останній концерт; нарешті неон, брудні підворіття, шмотки під вівьєн вествуд, хай тек та лоу лайф стрейт ін йо фейс; здається, образ джоні сільверхенда з настолки/відеогри був запозичений саме звідси. ні, я не певен, але ну дуже сильно все сходиться.

His most recent novel (as of 2013 [update]) is Love Is Strange (December 2012), a paranormal romance (40k). Among straight guys under 30, the release of Cyberpunk 2077 in the next few days is perhaps the most anticipated video game release since like 2015 (TLOU2 never happened). It's a cultural revival of sorts, and so it was important for me to read this.
