Excellent for its time, now dated.
|
The ideas in the short stories are a bit dated, yes, but I was actually referring to the fact that most of them have been collected in newer, later short story compendia so there is an excellent chance that you've already read a good number of them. Gibson's work, of course, is well represented, as are Greg Egan and Bruce Sterling. One of the few short stories written by Neal Stephenson is in this edition, also. It is easy to see where he began to feel out the structure of the model Snowcrash from this particular story.
For the reviewers who have been complaining about this book, it's a collection of short stories about hackers of various kinds (computer, code, intelligence, even DNA) and not about [ha,cr]ackers as the media usually portrays them. |
