Hardwired

By: Walter Jon Williams

Narrated by: Stefan Rudnicki

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)

absolutely incredible

great story. extremely well-written, almost poetic, and the narrator was a perfect choice, and performed exceptionally at his task. one of the best books I've listened to this year.

Cyberpunk Classic

One of the best cyberpunk novels you'll ever read. Great narration, great story, Williams is a poet in this action packed novel. Right up there with Neuromancer.

Great sci-fi almost poetic at times.

Cowboy, Reno, Sarah, amazing characters. I listened to this because it was the direct influence for Cyberpunk 2077 and the tttpg.

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!
