Welcome to the Best of the Masterworks: a selection of the finest in science fiction

"Ambitious, brilliantly executed ... Cadigan is a major talent" - William Gibson

"Cadigan's multifaceted talent includes a strong gift for definitive hardcore cyberpunk" - Bruce Sterling

"...back in the early 90's [I was] enthralled by Cadigan's vision ... I found it's still a marvellous read and [I am] amazed at how prescient it was" - Amazon Reviewer

Synners are hardcore - an outlaw band of hackers, simulation pirates, and experience synthesisers hooked on artificial reality and virtual space. To be a Synner is to distort the line between technology and the human mind - fusing to the point where any encounter with "real-life" is incidental - all it costs is your freedom, and your humanity.

Synners shows us a world perilously close to our own. This classic novel by the Queen of Cyberpunk offers us a terrifying glimpse into the future of our race, and questions what it means to be human.
