Walter Jon Williams : Hardwired, Episode 1 before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised Hardwired, Episode 1:

53 of 55 people found the following review helpful. One of the most important works of the last 20 years.By Clifford A. HicksThree works define cyberpunk as a genre -- William Gibson's "Neuromancer," Bruce Sterling's "The Artificial Kid" and Walter Jon Williams' "Hardwired."Of the three, "Hardwired" is certainly the most fun to read.Williams' writing has always jumped off the page, but none of his other books move quite as fast or quite as gracefully (with, perhaps, the exception of the three Drake Maijistral books) as "Hardwired."A chugging, gut- wrenching, pulse-pounding juggernaut of a book -- if you haven't read "Hardwired," you haven't even started understanding modern sci-fi.This is cyberpunk at its best.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Excellent!By Mr CI'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 .0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Still an amazing ride!By T BullenWhat 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.

Episode One of the classic novel! Earth lies prostrate beneath the lash of the Orbital powers, and Earth’s Balkanized nations have no choice but to let the Orbitals plunder their remaining wealth. Below the zone of Orbital control, buttonheads, panzerjocks, dirtgirls, and hustlers scramble for their ticket out of the gravity well.But now, if the criminal underworld and the guerilla underground can join forces, there is a chance to shift the balance of power— in a war fought on the ground by hardwired commandos, in the air by high-flying deltajocks, and by genius hackers in the neural interface.As 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. It has all of my favorite things— blood, love, fire, hate and a high ideal or two. I wish I’d written this one.”

From Publishers WeeklyAfter his thoughtful, elegant novel Knight Moves, Williams wrenchingly shifts gears for this heavy-metal adventure. It is set with acknowledgement in Roger Zelazny's Damnation Alley, when corporate Orbitals control what's left of a postwar America, now balkanized and armed to the teeth. Ex-fighter pilot Cowboy, "hardwired" via skull sockets directly to his lethal electronic hardware, teams up with Sarah, an equally cyborized gun- for-hire, to make a last stab at independence from the rapacious Orbitals. The story, though, is buried under an elaborate techno-punk style of the sort William Gibson popularized in Neuromancer. In both cases, it is a pose, a baroque nostalgia for Hemingway and film noir; it only plays at nihilism, terror and despair. The best effect is Williams's future version of a brain-scrambled vet: a dead buddy of Cowboy's whose scattered bits and pieces of computer memory now constitute a ragged semblance of a man. Such nuggets are hard to find amid the amplified, rock-'n-roll prose. Copyright 1986 Reed Business Information, Inc. ''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. It has all my favorite things--blood, love, fire, hate, and a high ideal or two. I wish I'd written this one.'' --Roger Zelazny, Hugo, Locus, and -winning author''Williams' use of language is as explosive and as techno tinged as the world he describes. Reading the book is like taking a jet ride across a futuristic America, with acceleration forcing you back in your seat all the way.'' --Tom Von Malder, writer and arts critic''Heavy-metal adventure.'' --Publishers WeeklyAbout the AuthorNo Bio
