Overview
This Sprawl Series collection brings together William Gibson's landmark cyberpunk fiction in one brand new paperback set. Neuromancer, Count Zero, and Mona Lisa Overdrive form the acclaimed Sprawl Trilogy, tracing hackers, artificial intelligences, and corporate power across a near-future world of cyberspace and street-level survival. Burning Chrome rounds out the set with ten razor-sharp short stories that helped define the genre. Together these four books capture Gibson's restless, prophetic vision of technology and identity, making this collection essential reading for science fiction fans and a perfect introduction to the writer who coined the term "cyberspace."

About the Books
Few science fiction collections carry the influence of William Gibson's Sprawl Series. Opening with Neuromancer, Gibson's 1984 debut swept the Hugo, Nebula, and Philip K. Dick Awards and introduced readers to a wired, neon-lit future where consciousness could jack directly into cyberspace. The novel follows a burned-out console cowboy pulled into one last job, threading noir atmosphere through a story about artificial intelligence, corporate control, and the blurred line between human and machine. Count Zero widens the canvas, following a corporate extraction gone wrong, a data thief hunting a mysterious art collection, and a teenager touched by strange, emergent digital forces, all converging across the same fractured cityscape. Mona Lisa Overdrive closes the trilogy by weaving together the fates of a runaway heiress, a washed-up simulation star, and a girl with a gift for reading the matrix, bringing the Sprawl's hackers and AIs to a fitting reckoning. Burning Chrome, the collection's fourth volume, gathers ten short stories that predate and expand the Sprawl universe, including the title story that first introduced Gibson's vision of cyberspace to readers. Written with a clipped, cinematic style that blends hard-boiled crime fiction with speculative technology, these four books together mapped the template for cyberpunk as a genre. Readers who enjoy immersive world-building, morally ambiguous protagonists, and prescient ideas about networks, surveillance, and artificial minds will find this set a rewarding, cohesive reading experience from one of science fiction's most important voices.
