Read Mirroshades For Free

Mirrorshades is a seminal anthology of cyberpunk science fiction edited by Bruce Sterling and first published in 1986. It contained stories by William Gibson, Bruce Sterling, Greg Bear, Pat Cadigan, and several other well-known writers. 

Rudy Rucker has made the anthology freely available to read online or download as an ebook.

Okay so NOW this FREE cyberpunk collection (which is so old you can see on the cover that it was only $3.50 for a paperback copy), is available as an #ebook download (FREE, I said!) as well as just opening it to read on your device. If you want it in that format, you can go there and try out the two ebook download systems it's offered on, let me know if it's not working. 

It's a credit to the authors and Sterling's editorial talents that these stories have held up so well over the intervening decades. Here's the table of contents.
