Fiction 2000

Some essays are theoretical, but all are grounded in works familiar to serious science-fiction readers: "Neuromancer", "Frontera", "Deserted Cities of the Heart", "Islands in the Net", "Great Sky River", the "Mirrorshades" anthology, and others; cyberpunk TV and cinema like the Max Headroom programmes, "Blade Runner", and "Tron"; and precursory literature, including "Frankenstein", "Le Roman de lavenir", "Ralph 124C 41 +" and "A Clockwork Orange".
