Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Bruce Sterling has called his Shaper/Mechanist novel Schismatrix "my favorite among my books." It is a detailed history of a spacefaring humanity divided into two camps: The Shapers, who prefer genetic enhancements, and the Mechanists, who rely on prosthetics. Sterling also published five Shaper/Mechanist stories between 1982-84, which have been collected with the novel in this compendium volume. This book represents the definitive collection of what is arguably Sterling's most intense work, offering a hard, gritty look at humanity as it pushes and claws its way to the stars.

From Library Journal
This collection contains Sterling's cyberpunk sf Shaper/Mechanist universe short stories from his collection Crystal Express plus his novel Schismatrix, both published in the 1980s. Recommended for sf collections lacking the two books.
