Images of heat dance in slow motion on Sarah’s retinas. Tell me about Korolev, Cowboy says. Sarah looks at him in surprise. His expression is intent, angry. If I know it, I have a better chance of staying alive. I need you to tell me. I have a right.

That said, Walter Jon Williams has writing chops and this book is not bad. I will probably give the next book in the series at some point. With Williams at the helm, this series has the potential to be entertaining. To me, Walter Jon William's HARDWIRED is a strange mashup of corny romance, twangy western, quasi-military, and action adventure. Picture The Terminator and Sarah Connors suffering through a really hammy 80s script. The story is severely hampered by heavy use of third person narrative.

by Walter Jon Williams. As Roger Zelazny said, Hardwired is a tough, sleek juggernaut of a story, punctuated by strobe light movements, coursing to the wail of jets and the twang of steel guitars- glittering, nasty, and noble- and told in a style perfectly suiting its content.

ears ago, the last desperate hopes of Earth were crushed as corporate Orbital blocs ruling from on high devastated the planet's face. Today, the autocratic Orbitals indulge in decadent luxury far above the mudboys, dirtgirls, zonedancers, and buttonheads who live out violent lives of electronic distraction and dependence amid the flooded, ruined cities and teeming slums of a balkanized America.But there are heroes; those who would stand against the Orbital powers and keep freedom's cause alive. Two such heroes are the metal-eyed ex-fighter pilot turned panzer-driver Cowboy, and Sarah, the cybernetic assassin desperate to find a better life for her drug-addicted brother. Together, Cowboy and Sarah embark on a high-octane odyssey across the shattered face of the American west.From Walter Jon Williams comes Hardwired, the hard-hitting, seminal classic that feels as prescient today as when it was first published. Like a steel-guitar fueled Damnation Alley, as directed by Sam Peckinpah, Hardwired demonstrates how Williams's singular vision helped defined the cyberpunk genre.Skyhorse Publishing, under our Night Shade and Talos imprints, is proud to publish a broad range of titles for readers interested in science fiction (space opera, time travel, hard SF, alien invasion, near-future dystopia), fantasy (grimdark, sword and sorcery, contemporary urban fantasy, steampunk, alternative history), and horror (zombies, vampires, and the occult and supernatural), and much more. While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller, a national bestseller, or a Hugo or Nebula award-winner, we are committed to publishing quality books from a diverse group of authors.

Early cyberpunk at its best. Some damn good science fiction and excellent storytelling makes this a classic cyberpunk novel a must-have if you are serious about your near future science fiction. Williams is one of the true greats in contemporary science fiction.

I've been reading a lot lately, and to be honest a lot of it has been dross. This isn't. It's pure 100% quality. In fact, I'm gutted that I have finished; it's the sort of book you want to go on forever, immersing you in a well written, coherent world. A must read, if you are into science fiction.

What can I say about this story that has not already been said? It's one of my top 5 novels EVER and I've read thousands, in many genres. What Walter achieved here is a multi layered story where the science doesn't override the personalities of his tragic, flawed and deeply relatable characters. I loved it the first time I read it and I still love it after re-reading it years later.
For the life of me I can't understand why it hasn't been made into a movie, but it's probably just as well. I don't think any studio would get it right.

This first installment had the desired effect: Immediately upon finishing the first few chapters I bought the complete novel (cheap at twice the price). In the next few weeks, I'll be reading everything this author has written. This book has weathered a lot of changes in technology, especially the language we now use to describe such things. The technological concepts presented in this book are still (as of this moment) fiction, and we would talk about them in different terms these days, but that doesn't matter. This is well written, well paced, a good balance of character development and story telling, and a really great read.

I'd been daydreaming of armored hovercars for most of my adult life before I happened across Hardwired recently, read it, and realized that I had read it twenty years before. It had left an indelible impression on my mind, my writing, and how I think about cyberpunk novels and the future.

Walter Jon William's writing is amazing, and the imagery is astounding. It's an equal of William Gibson's Neuromancer and Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash. It's stood up well to time, and it was extremely enjoyable to reread. (In fact, I've read it twice in the last year, I was so excited to rediscover it.)

Great cyberpunk. I am not sure if I like this book or Neuromancer better. If you like cyberpunk, you will enjoy this. Somehow even today, the vision of the cyberspace still feels fresh and futuristic. As with most sci-fi books there are flaws but that is to be expected. If you like this book, follow up with Solip System. It is a great short finish to the story. Cyberpunk is actually best in short form. I enjoyed the story and how it all connects and mostly the sister/brother relationship and how that ends. I really like the strong Cyberpunk woman. Just leaves me with one question, Sarah or Molly?

I love this book - I read it in the 80's, and I read it again in 2015, and it still holds my attention. The visuals are almost poetic, it covers action, empathy, politics, betrayal, and demonstrates a complex understanding of the economic power structure that is shaping our world, shaping our future. It sings to me.... I'll read it again.

Hard science fiction at its best, easily one of the best sci-fi books I've ever read. Loved it. right there with William Gibson and Bruce Sterling for vision and execution. This book is a 10.
