Las historias en si varían mucho en calidad/interés. Pero lo que está claro es que Gibson sabe narrar con pegada este mundo (ahora) retrotecnológico de vaqueros de consola, ciberespacio y demás.
Kurz: DIE Sammlung an Kurzgeschichten für alle, die ein Faible für Cyberpunk haben. Zumindest Johnny Mnemonic, Burning Chrome & New Rose Hotel lassen einen quasi die Neon-Reklame draußen vor dem Fenster sehen.
...when there's a bike made of paper and carbon and whathaveyou... yeah.
