3.0 out of 5 stars Cyberpunk? Yeah. Literature? No., October 16, 2003
By 
This review is from: The Alt.Cyberpunk.Chatsubo Anthology (Paperback)
This collection of short stories and poems is interesting, but it really doesn't advance the genre past the markers set by Gibson, Stephenson and Sterling. Frequent spelling mistakes ("Leibowitz," as in _A_Canticle_For_Leibowitz_, is misspelled as "Liebowitz," for example) and sloppy diction mar a great deal of the stories in the anthology.

If you're a die-hard fan of cyberpunk, then this might be interesting (if only to compare non-published authors with the Big Three), but if you're new to the genre, try to find a copy of _Mirrorshades_ used, or pick up _Burning_Chrome_ by William Gibson. Pat Cadigan also has an anthology of cyberpunk coming out in paperback in 2004.
