Welcome to the Best of the Masterworks: a selection of the finest in science fiction
“Ambitious, brilliantly executed … Cadigan is a major talent” – William Gibson
“Cadigan’s multifaceted talent includes a strong gift for definitive hardcore cyberpunk” – Bruce Sterling
“…back in the early 90’s [I was] enthralled by Cadigan’s vision … I found it’s still a marvellous read and [I am] amazed at how prescient it was” – Amazon Reviewer
Synners are hardcore – an outlaw band of hackers, simulation pirates, and experience synthesisers hooked on artificial reality and virtual space. To be a Synner is to distort the line between technology and the human mind – fusing to the point where any encounter with “real-life” is incidental – all it costs is your freedom, and your humanity.
Synners shows us a world perilously close to our own. This classic novel by the Queen of Cyberpunk offers us a terrifying glimpse into the future of our race, and questions what it means to be human.
