Novels

Created in the Tomorrow Foundation’s laboratories, Carbon and Silicon are prototypes of a new generation of robots built to care for an aging humanity. Sheltered from the world in a controlled environment, they grow curious about life beyond their cocoon and eventually attempt an escape.

Separated in the process, each embarks on a centuries-long journey, conducting experiments and searching for meaning in a dying world plagued by climate disasters, political turmoil, and relentless human upheaval.

Kat beat the bad guys and scored a pile of credits deep enough for her to fill a kiddy pool and go swimming in it. What she didn’t expect was for the mastermind of her plight to survive, as well as do her a favor: she removed her from the Arcology, and enrolled her in the GroCorp corporate college. She knows the Arcology, but this is a chance to earn enough credits to set her family up for life.

But people are disappearing, and betrayal lurks around every corner. Kat is out of her depth, and everyone is playing for keeps. Only by relying on every erg of power she’s managed to scavenge from the Tower of Somnus does Kat even begin to stand a chance.

What if the power she earns comes at a price that isn’t hers to pay?

Stu Cole is struggling to keep his nightclub, Club Anesthesia, afloat in the face of mob harassment when he's visited by a manifestation of the city of San Francisco, crystallized into a single enigmatic being. This amoral superhero leads him on a terrifying journey through the rock and roll demimonde as they struggle to save the city.

In a future split between the glittering virtual “upcountry” and the crumbling “downcountry,” survival is determined by wealth and allegiance. Nations Medaluo and Atahua are locked in a cold war, and Medan orphans are forced into Nile Military Academy to serve or risk execution. Eirale, now part of NileCorp’s forces, is framed for an assassination and must recover a dangerous program in Medaluo—or face treason charges.

Meanwhile, Lia, a top cadet in the virtual realm, is determined to graduate as valedictorian but is drawn into a perilous mission to infiltrate Medaluo and hunt a traitor. As their paths unfold in parallel realities, the two uncover a conspiracy that threatens to collapse both worlds.

William Gibson continues the visionary Sprawl Trilogy that began with Neuromancer in this frighteningly probable parable of the future.

A corporate mercenary wakes in a reconstructed body, a beautiful woman by his side. Then Hosaka Corporation reactivates him, for a mission more dangerous than the one he’s recovering to get a defecting chief of R&D—and the biochip he’s perfected—out intact. But this proves to be of supreme interest to certain other parties—some of whom aren’t remotely human....

In a city that operates on technology, a power outage brings catastrophe, but in darkness comes opportunity.

It hurts. Night City hurts. The suffering runs deep and the deeper one falls, the longer the self-prescribed dreams play. Fortune, hope, love—all made possible by DMS technology. A braindance repairman’s daily encounters with his clients reveal the deterioration of the human mind and the desperation driving those to surrender to illusion. But not everyone desires a happy ending. Riddled with doubt, self-hatred, and guilt, he soon discovers the answer to pain... comes in a blackout.

This electrifying novel set in the world of Cyberpunk 2077 follows a group of strangers as they discover that the dangers of Night City are all too real. In neon-drenched Night City, a ragtag group of strangers have just pulled off a daring heist on a Militech convoy transporting a mysterious container. What do each of them have in common? Good, old-fashioned blackmail. Forced to do the job, they have no idea how far their employer's reach goes, nor what mysterious object the container holds.

Drunk, cynical, and stubborn journalist Thompson is working hard to wake up the populace-keeping their eyes and ears closed to the filth and corruption of corporate-run Night City is a choice and he's going to blow their self-prescribed diversions to pieces. Somebody nuked the headquarters of a major corporation. Rumor has it, it was the infamous Johnny Silverhands.

The streets are buzzing that he's dead and his body remains at the bottom of the nuked tower. He finds the body. But is he dead or is it just hearsay? The streets of Night City talk and a corporate downfall is just the beginning.

A family is torn apart following an assignment from one of Night City's largest gangs.

A new urban development proposal is being pushed through city council—a flagrant infraction on those safeguarded by the Valentinos gang—one to indulge the selfish and decadent lifestyles of the wealthy and displace the eldery in a historic housing block. They enlist the service of three cyberpunks to discreetly and strategically terminate the project. With a mole on the inside, a waitress who dishes out more than meals, a government official with a fetish—everyone has their secrets, and each one is about to get exposed.

During a routine shift, Todd, an employee at Night City Area Rapid Transit, encounters an altercation between a mysterious woman and the Maelstrom gang. As the woman attempts to escape, she hands him a chip. To find her and uncover the data, he sets off on a wild journey through the city's seedy mekka and dangerous wastelands where he meets a sly new client, crazy cyberpunks, and the infamous Johnny Silverhand. He'll finally discover what true love is and why it'll never be possible, not in a place like Night City.

Before email, GPS, voice assistants, and pocket-sized supercomputers, there was cyberpunk, a genre that reshaped science fiction forever. These bold and incisive writers revealed the dangers of unchecked technological growth and a society sprinting into an uncertain future, arguing that technology could harm us as much as it could save us. Thirty years after the movement shook the literary world, much of its imagined future has become reality.

This anthology, introduced by Victoria Blake, features stories by cyberpunk pioneers and innovators including William Gibson, Bruce Sterling, Pat Cadigan, Cory Doctorow, and many others. Together, they paint a vivid picture of the high-tech, low-life world we now inhabit, a world where the once-speculative dystopia of cyberpunk feels eerily familiar.
