Author: Pat CadiganTitle: SynnersBinding: PaperbackNumber Of Pages: 496Release Date: 2012-11-13Details: What does it mean to be human when you're part of the machine?Synners are sy nthesizers - not machines, but people. They take images from the brains of performers, and turn them into a form which can be packaged, sold and consumed. This book is set in a world where new technology spawns new crime before it hits the streets.In SYNNERS the line between technology and humanity is hopelessly slim; the human mind and the external landscape have fused to the point where any encounter with reality is incidental.A classic novel from one of the founders and mainstays of the cyberpunk movement.Readers are astounded by SYNNERS:'A masterpiece that deserves its place in the "SF Masterworks" series'- Goodreads reviewer, 'Stone-home great! Cadigan is yet another example that puts pay to the lie of sci-fi being a somehow inherently shallow genre' - Goodreads reviewer, 'This novel has really everything I want when reading SF: mind-blowing technology, non-utopia setting, and 'real' personal characters' - Goodreads reviewer, 'A masterpiece of Cyberpunk . . . Synners is science fiction at its best: innovative, stirring, and not always easy to figure out but always poignantly thought provoking' - Goodreads reviewer, 'It's genius, and a mess and incredibly ground-breaking and seriously, should be considered a science fiction classic . . . Question any list of "great/classic SF" that doesn't include this book' - Goodreads reviewer, 'Loved this book so much I wrote my master's dissertation on it' - Goodreads reviewer, EAN: 9780575119543Package Dimensions: Height: 7.75 Inches, Length: 5.125 Inches, Weight: 0.771617917 Pounds, Width: 1.25 Inches Show more
