Some early reviews of Cyber World

“This is old-school cyberpunk written by new-school talent–the caliber of writers found in this book is a dream-team of storytellers ready to hack into your skull and implant their tales into your brain-meats. Cyberpunk gives the cyberpunk genre a much-needed reboot.”
