Jack Burroughs was a young, brilliant computer programmer working in the shadows of corporate tyranny. That is, until corporate restructuring forced him down the fiber optic road to subterfuge. This is his incredible story--a melange of betrayal, abandonment, impish wit, imaginary sexcapades and a final, desperate attack against the forces of corporate evil.

レビュー

  • WHY isn't this available in digital?

    Look. It's a great book. Hilarious, deeply weird, and cyberpunk down to it's veins. But you can find those details in other reviews. I want to devote my review to another question: WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO GET THIS BOOK IN KINDLE?! Seriously. I bought this out-of-print book in paperback years ago out of desperation but I want it in digital so I never lose it & can revisit it wherever I get the urge, from where ever I am at that moment. Amazon used to have a button that allowed you to send a request to the publisher to make an ebook. I'm pretty sure there was a 6 month period where I clicked that weekly (if not more). Cyberpunk shouldn't be trapped in dead-trees-format! Please.. Think of the children. The ones in the future who will never read this awesome book cuz no one is going to pay $25 for a used mass market paperback that they can't even try a sample of. And that's a terrible shame.

  • This is such an amazing book...a true classic, and a must read for any sci fi fan.

    What more can I add about this super cool and classic novel? I'm very happy I read this.

  • One of my favorite books ever

    One of my favorite books ever. I keep hoping they put it on the Kindle marketplace but they havent yet.

  • How much do you trust your stuffies?

    Delightful take on the whole cyberpunk genre. Particularly amusing to me, because I went to work at the IRL inspiration for Monolithic Diversified Enterprises and I worked for a Director who kept a laser-cut, transparent aluminum model of one of his products from his work in the Sanguinary Tech-Systems Division on the credenza in his office.
