Trade ReviewA fistful of fast, challenging, hot-wired short stories - New Musical Express
Furiously inventive, brilliantly written, the cutting edge of SF - Guardian
At once a lament and a critique, these stories show the way SF is being rewired. Gibson, his finger jitteringly on the fast-forward button, shows the direction in which our literature might be headed - The Times
Some subversives are still at work proving that SF can pack its strongest blows into its shortest works . . . He's at his best dealing with the victims of the new, the people burnt out by drugs, computers, huge corporations or the strangeness of space - Fiction Magazine
