A provocative anthology of science fiction stories exploring strange, jarring universes with cyberpunk themes.
About
Details
Several short stories, J.G. Ballard, Bruce Sterling, William Gibson, Bob Sheckley, Philip Jose Farmer and Ian Watson are the only ones I had known. I didn't really take to the work although some of the stories were interesting. There is a lot of really unpleasant content. ... Maybe my favorite anthology. Changed my life. SAVED my life. ... this semiotext(e) is a collection of short stories which are strange, jarring, and full of fun escapades through sciencefictionalized universes.
