Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"One of our best and most singular writers. A powerhouse of ideas and imagery." --William Gibson

"John Shirley achieves things that other writers wouldn't dare attempt. Brilliant. The true quill." --Bruce Sterling

"Readers who enjoy living a little dangerously are likely to appreciate the sheer, headlong exuberance of Shirley's imagination." --San Francisco Chronicle

"New Taboos is a slim volume offering an intriguing sampling of John Shirley's writing and ideas." --quarkstomper, Daily KOS

"Astonishingly consistent and rigorously horrifying. All his stories give off the chill of top-grade horror." --New York Times

"Shirley writes at the neon-lit frontier of sensory experience." --Publishers Weekly

"Lyricist and "Dread Lord" of cyberpunk Shirley releases a full-throated howl about the twinned perils of corporate hegemony and citizen apathy... Brief but potent, the book is a treat for Shirley fans, and a reasonable starting point for newcomers." --Publishers Weekly

Reseña del editor:

Mixing outlaw humor, sci-fi adventure, and cutting social criticism, this collection draws upon John Shirley&;s entire arsenal. The title essay, "New Taboos" is his prescription for a radical revisioning of America. A new short story, "State of Imprisonment," is a horrifying and hilarious look at the privatization of the prison industry. The one percent gets their comeuppance in "Where the Market's Hottest." His TEDx address (delivered in Brussels in 2011) presents his proudly contrarian views of the next 40 years. Also featured is an Outspoken Interview showcasing the author's progressive sensibility, deep humanity, and mordant wit.
