What does it mean to be human when you're part of the machine?
Synners are synthesizers - not machines, but people. They take images
from the brains of performers, and turn them into a form which can be
packaged, sold and consumed. This book is set in a world where new
technology spawns new crime before it hits the streets.
In SYNNERS the line between technology and humanity is hopelessly slim;
the human mind and the external landscape have fused to the point where
any encounter with reality is incidental.
A classic novel from one of the founders and mainstays of the cyberpunk
movement.

mind-blowing technology, non-utopia setting, and 'real' personal
characters' - Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
'A masterpiece of Cyberpunk . . . Synners is science fiction at its

always poignantly thought provoking' - Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
⭐
'It's genius, and a mess and incredibly ground-breaking and
seriously, should be considered a science fiction classic . . .
