Welcome to the Best of the Masterworks: a selection of the finest
in science fiction - What does it mean to be human when you're part
of the machine? Synners are synthesizers - not machines, but
people. They take images from the brains of performers, and turn
them into a form which can be packaged, sold and consumed. They
don't use the net, they are the net. Everything is automated.
Everything is synthetic. But when the technology starts to fail,
the terrifying question remains: what is a human? Winner of the
1992 Arthur C. Clarke Award, Synners was Pat Cadigan's early
stories, and cemented her place in the core of the cyberpunk
movement, and has even inspired academic works. Lauded for her
complex characters and plots, and seen as a stalwart of feminist
SF, Cadigan has gone on to win another Clarke and a Hugo for
subsequent works. - 'Racingly told, linguistically acute,
simultaneously pell-mell and precise in its detailing' - The
Encyclopedia of Science Fiction 'Ambitious, brilliantly executed .
. . Cadigan is a major talent' - William Gibson 'Pat Cadigan is the
undisputed Queen of Cyberpunk' - The Fantasy Hive
