Hardwired

By: Walter Jon Williams

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.©2006 Night Shade Books (P)2008 Blackstone Audio, Inc.

Critic reviews

"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." (Roger Zelazny)

classic cyberpunk story

Great listen

I try to keep an open mind when listening to a book and then I’m not going to lie the pacing of this one almost had me not listen to the rest of it but it actually did catch up pretty well. There are some descriptive parts that I think could have been left out and you’ll know when you hear them but overall a great not so out of this world story!

surprisingly good

a good and gritty cyberpunk world. pretty well thought out and stays within the limitations of the world.

A gem of a classic

The voice work was amazing. the story was well paced if you like cyberpunk this is one of the best stories out there. One of the granddaddies of the genre.

Perfection

Foundational cyberpunk read by a performer with a voice of film grain & sepia. The DNA of this story is evident in dystopian fiction which followed, and the dystopian reality it offers escape from & insight into.
