In “Johnny Mnemonic,” the title character, a famously technical boy, encounters razorgirls, assassins, and a cybernetically enhanced dolphin, in a fast-paced story, the first to be set in the Sprawl of Gibson’s first three novels. The stories gathered in Burning Chrome range across a spectrum of post-modern human experience, exploring everything from space travel to surveillance culture to late capitalism.Īmong the ten futures here, we find these: His celebrated, much-awarded debut novel, Neuromancer (1984) announced him to the wider world, but it was the stories in Burning Chrome, the collection originally published in 1986, that first established him as a star in the firmament of science fiction. An inductee of the Science Fiction Hall of Fame, he’s been recognized as a Grand Master by the Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America. William Gibson is a winner of the Hugo, the Nebula, and Philip K.
