Rewriring the Future
Tachyon Publications has posted the Table of Contents for their Rewired: The Post-Cyberpunk Anthology (edited by James Patrick Kelly and John Kessel), and it's a killer line-up:
- Introduction: Hacking Cyberpunk by James Patrick Kelly and John Kessel
- Introduction: Kessel-Sterling Correspondence by John Kessel
- Bruce Sterling "Bicycle Repairman"
- Gwyneth Jones "Red Sonja and Lessingham in Dreamland"
- Jonathan Lethem "How We Got Into Town and Out Again"
- Greg Egan "Yeyuka"
- Pat Cadigan "The Final Remake of The Return of Little Latin Larry"
- William Gibson "Thirteen Views of a Cardboard City"
- David Marusek "The Wedding Album"
- Walter Jon Williams "Daddy’s World"
- Michael Swanwick "The Dog Said Bow-Wow"
- Charles Stross "Lobsters"
- Paul Di Filippo "What’s Up, Tiger Lily"
- Christopher Rowe “The Voluntary State”
- Elizabeth Bear “Two Dreams on Trains”
- Paolo Bacigalupi "The Calorie Man"
- Mary Rosenblum "Search Engine"
- Cory Doctorow "When SysAdmins Ruled the Earth"
That second "introduction" is actually a series of letters between Bruce Sterling and John Kessel starting in 1985, which sounds like it's about the heart of the cyberpunk-humanist split. I hadn't even suspected such a thing existed, and I can't wait to read it myself.
