Oto brama w niezwykły świat Gibsona — mechaniczny, lecz przepełniony uczuciem, żyjący seksem, gwałtem i pieniędzmi, mroczny, podniecający jak narkotyk. Świat walczących o władzę ponadnarodowych korporacji, których pracownicy są niewolnikami i wolnych hackerów, podróżujących po sztucznym, bezgranicznym Wszechświecie wnętrza komputera — cyberprzestrzeni — gdzie szaleństwo i śmierć mierzy się w nanosekundach. Case był jednym z najlepszych, lecz nawet on popełnił błąd

« Science-fiction à court terme qui explore les retombées des technologies de pointe, notamment l’informatique, dans tous les aspects de la vie quotidienne. Ambiance marquée par la culture rock et flirt fréquent avec le polar. » Cette citation tirée du catalogue Présence du futur illustre parfaitement l’univers cyberpunk dont Neuromancien, premier livre de Gibson, est l’oeuvre fondatrice. Récompensé dès sa sortie par les prix Hugo, Nébula et P K Dick, ce roman se passe entre Hong Kong, Atlanta et Londres. Chase est un ancien pirate de la matrice, cet univers qu’il définit comme « une hallucination consensuelle ». Après la destruction de son système nerveux par un de ses employeurs, il survit désormais grâce à l’alcool et aux drogues et trempe dans plusieurs trafics d’organes et de matériel informatique. Alors qu’il s’apprête à franchir le point de non retour dans cette spirale d’autodestruction, il se voit offrir une nouvelle naissance : la possibilité de retourner dans la matrice « pour l’exultation désincarnée » qu’elle procure, « le corps, c’est de la viande »

Immaginate un futuro alla Bladerunner, non molto lontano dal nostro presente, un mondo di cupa delinquenza e di elevata tecnologia, di droghe e computer, di traffico nero di organi umani, di trapianti e di sfrenata ricchezza, di popolosi quartieri dove si aggira il più torbido sottobosco umano, un mondo di cyborg e di tetre strade notturne, di fatiscenti metropoli illuminate da un cielo grigiastro per le colorate luci al neon e gli ologrammi dei locali malfamati. In questo mondo si muove Case, che un tempo era stato il miglior “cow boy” d’interfaccia, un uomo che con la mente riusciva a entrare e muoversi nell’incredibile mondo delle matrici dei computer, nel cosiddetto “cyberspace”, dove la sua essenza disincarnata frugava nelle banche-dati delle ricchissime corporazioni che dominavano la Terra e rubava le informazioni richieste dai suoi mandanti. Ma poi Case aveva commesso il classico errore, aveva cercato di rubare anche ai suoi mandanti, di tener per sé parte del bottino. E, scoperto, era stato vittima di un destino cui avrebbe preferito la morte: il suo sistema nervoso era stato danneggiato in maniera tale che non avrebbe più potuto entrare nel misterioso e bellissimo mondo del “cyberspace”. Ma forse Case aveva ancora un’altra possibilità, e stava soltanto a lui sfruttarla a dovere. Un romanzo magnifico e avvincente, che unisce in maniera splendida un’accurata estrapolazione sociale e tecnologica a una incredibile serie di personaggi dipinti con maestria e con uno stile vivido e immediato, da un nuovo scrittore che ha già conquistato il pubblico d’oltre oceano e si avvia a diventare uno dei nuovi “grandi” della fantascienza mondiale. Vincitore dei premi Nebula e Philip K. Dick in 1984. Vincitore del premio Hugo in 1985

Case, a kozolcowboy, az adatmezők magányos vándora magára haragította megbízóit, s ezért a hibáért képességeinek legjavával kellett fizetnie. Azóta üzletel, a fennmaradásért küzd a XXI. századi Japán alvilágban, ahol a pénz szava törvény, a könnyelműség büntetése pedig gyors, kíméletlen halál

Will she be the one to lead a revolution against the hi-sector elite and the mysterious Man in the Moon? Or, will she betray and ultimately destroy the human race? Includes bonus short stories: Neon Dawn, A Sculptor’s Dream and End Program

There comes a time when it is both useful, and appropriate, for the purpose of continuing to expand our understanding of the universe we live in, for entirely new fields of study to be created. Separating new from old, exceptions from rules, and useful from previously unquestionable. So learning and experiences from entirely divergent fields have the opportunity to combine knowledge and experience into configurations that allow further growth, understanding, and impact upon ourselves as a species. It is in this way that neuro-linguistic programming came into being. We wish at this point to separate our NLP from the many fields from which it draws information, from the many fields for which it has application. And in this way have greater clarity and freedom to delineate NLP's own methodologies and basic purpose

In the galactic war with the Rigelians, every allied system counts, so Earth sends the Peccable to contact the gnorph of planet Fafnir for a treaty. But there’s a Rigelian ship landing at the same time, so the two enemies must compete for the natives’ favor, rather like the Federation and the Klingons did in the classic Star Trek episode Friday’s Child

A generation after a global nuclear war Louisiana is a fetid, sullen landscape of impenetrable swamps and grotesquely mutated wildlife. Above the gnarled bayous, radioactive red dust clouds race across the sky on nuclear winds: below, thick mud sucks at a man’s boots. Now and then a biting acid rain falls, swept in on the boiling winds from the Gulf. In the reeking swampland that was the Mississippi basin, neutron bombs have left barren cityscapes the territories of small groups of bitterly opposed survivors. Ryan Cawdor and his companions Krysty Wroth and J.B. Dix come upon one such group who are striving to revive life on earth the way it was before the bombs fell. But they’re up against a postholocaust feudal lord who’s just as determined to wipe them out. In the Deathlands, the world blew out in 2001. The future is emerging

Not every fallen angel comes from heaven... The ancient menace has finally escaped from Lalonde, shattering the Confederation's peaceful existence. Those who succumbed to it have acquired godlike powers, but now follow a far from divine gospel as they advance inexorably from world to world. On planets and asteroids, individuals battle for survival against the strange and brutal forces unleashed upon the universe. Governments teeter on the brink of anarchy, the Confederation Navy is dangerously over-stretched, and a dark messiah prepares to invoke his own version of the final Night. In such desperate times the last thing the galaxy needs is a new and terrifyingly powerful weapon. Yet Dr Alkad Mzu is determined to retrieve the Alchemist - so she can complete her thirty-year-old vendetta to slay a star. Which means Joshua Calvert has to find Dr Mzu and bring her back before the Alchemist can be reactivated. But he's not alone in the chase, and there are people on both sides who have their own ideas about how to use the ultimate doomsday device. The Neutronium Alchemist: Conflict, is the second part of the second novel of Peter F. Hamilton's space opera epic that ranges not only across interstellar space but across the boundary between life and death. (The series begins with The Reality Dysfunction: Emergence and Expansion). This book mainly revolves around Dr. Alkad Mzu, creator of a doomsday weapon so powerful it scares even the citizens of this high-tech and heavily beweaponed future. Mzu is on a decades-long quest to take vengeance against the people who destroyed her home planet, and she wields alarming cunning and ruthlessness in the pursuit. But what gives even her pause is the war against the souls of the dead who have returned from a hellish Beyond to possess the living. Both sides want her: the dead want the weapon, the living want to keep the weapon out of the dead's hands. Unfortunately for them, that means they must find and take Mzu alive, while all the dead need to do is kill her, bringing her into their realm. Rarely has science fiction produced a series as rich, satisfying, and big as this one. In addition to the action, Hamilton continues to beguile us with the greater mystery of the returned dead--new clues are discovered, only to create new enigmas

But he's not alone in the chase, and there are people on both sides who have their own ideas about how to use the ultimate doomsday device. Peter Hamilton's space opera saga, which began with the Reality Dysfunction, Part 1: Emergence and Part 2: Expansion, continues in The Neutronium Alchemist, another two-volume novel. Now the battle lines are clearly drawn, and more than half a dozen plot lines are charging ahead as humanity's galaxy-spanning culture faces a terrifying revelation: souls of the dead are returning from the beyond to possess the living. The living, though competent and brave in the best science fiction tradition, must contend with history's greatest generals and leaders, as well as some unexpected champions. Al Capone, it seems, makes an excellent interstellar emperor. How do you fight an enemy whose every soldier is also a hostage and who, if killed, will simply return to possess someone else? The dilemmas are not just technical, but moral, as people face the first real proof of life after death. This conflict is far broader, though, than a simple apocalyptic battle of good versus evil. Among the possessors are some good souls who fight the risen dead even though it's against their best interest. Conversely, plenty of the living see siding with the dead as an opportunity to further their own interests. Action, wonders, and mystery continue to characterize this high-quality series
