William Gibson's dark visions of computer cowboys, bio-enhanced soldiers of fortune, and hi-tech lowlifes have won unprecedented praise. Included here are some of the most famous short fiction and novellas by the author of Count Zero and Neuromancer.
Segurament la millor manera d’endinsar-se en l'obra de William Gibson és començant pels seus contes, recollits a "Burning Chrome", on apareix per primera vegada el terme ciberespai. Dos d'aquests contes, "Johnny Mnemonic" i "Burning Chrome", tenen com a escenari el món de "Neuromancer", i tant "Johnny Menomic" com un altre dels contes, "New Rose Hotel", s’han adaptat al cine (el primer amb guió del propi Gibson).

Johnny Mnemonic: I put the shot gun in an Adidas bag and padded it out with four pairs of tennis socks, not my style at all, but that was what I was aiking for: If they think you're crude, go technical; if they think you're technical, go crude.
The Gernsback Continuum: Mercifully, the whole thing is starting to fade, to become an episode.
Fragments of a hologram rose: That summer Parker had trouble sleeping.
The belonging kid: It might have been in Club Justine, or Jimbo's, or Sad Jack's, or the Rafters; Coretti could never be sure where he'd first seen her.
Hinterlands: When Hiro hit the switch, I was dreaming of Paris, dreaming of wet, dark streets in winter.
Fragments of a hologram rose: But each fragment reveals the rose from a different angle, he remembered, but delta swept over him before he could ask himself what that might mean.
Hinterlands: And Saint Olga smiles out at us from the walls; yxou can feel her, all those prints from the same publicity shot, torn and taped across the walls of night, her white smile, forever.
Burning chrome: And sometimes late at night I'll pass a window with posters of simstim stars, all those beautiful, identical eyes staring back at me out of faces that are nearly identical, and sometimes the eyes are hers, but none of the faces are, none of them ever are, and I see her far out on the edge of all this sprawl of night and cities, and then she waves goodbye.
