<p><b>"Ambitious, brilliantly executed ... Cadigan is a major talent"</b> - William Gibson<br><br><b>"Cadigan's multifaceted talent includes a strong gift for definitive hardcore cyberpunk" </b>- Bruce Sterling<br><br><b>"...back in the early 90's [I was] enthralled by Cadigan's vision ... </b><b>I found it's still a marvellous read and [I am] amazed at how prescient it was"</b> - Amazon Reviewer<br><br>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. <br><br>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.</p>
