Mirrorshades - The Cyberpunk Anthology - Bruce Sterling (ed.) 239 pages.

I started reading this collection of short sci-fi stories just after New Years, and quickly came to the conclusion that:
1. I can't read collections of short stories because my brain can't handle the switching universe at the end of the chapter, and
2. I don't like cyberpunk (a sub-genre of science-fiction for those of you who didn't know).

It wasn't a genre I was familiar with, and it was interesting to read. I liked a few of the stories, and the assorted different ways that the future of Earth was depicted.
I don't think I'd read anything else in this genre, but I now have an understanding of where it fits into the broader context of sci-fi.
