Two dozen tales of future shock and twisted history from an undisputed king of cyberpunk science fiction
Time magazine describes Bruce Sterling as "one of America's best-known science fiction writers and perhaps the sharpest observer of our media-choked culture working today in any genre." Sterling's abilities are on full display in Ascendancies , a collection of speculative fiction from a world-class world-building futurist, alternate historian, and mad prophet operating at the peak of his extraordinary powers. Here are twenty-four stories that span the illustrious career of the author who, along with William Gibson and Neal Stephenson, injected the word cyberpunk into the science fiction lexicon. These tales not only traverse galaxies and employ mind-boggling technologies, they also cut back across the centuries into a richly imagined past with style and a sharp satiric edge.
