Hardwired [MultiFormat]
by Walter Jon Williams

 Get ready for a different kind of war, with a different kind of hero. The mudboys and dirtgirls of a disadvantaged Earth have declared war on Heaven--the orbital society that controls their world, but can no longer control their destiny. A rightfully celebrated science fiction classic, set in a frightening not-too-distant future of high-tech wonders and shattered ideals, Hardwired is beautifully written literature and a hard-hitting adventure story, all in one glorious package. 1986

Alan M. Clark and several unindicted co-conspirators combine their talents to bring you a collection of short fiction unlike any other. Whether it's the magical and perilous quest of a brave appliance to "the land where dogs contain nothing," the get-rich-quick scheme of a couple of dimwitted bodysnatchers, or the gruesome and grisly cost of a so-called free lunch, each of these wonderfully inventive stories offers its own brand of literary enjoyment in a slightly skewed vein. 2001
