Ballantine Books The Big Book of Cyberpunk Vol. 2

The Big Book of Cyberpunk, Vol. 2 is a genre-defining and mind-bending collection of sci-fi stories. Gathering over a hundred tales from more than twenty-five countries, it showcases how cyberpunk tropes are established and subverted through gritty near-future noir, high-octane action, and richly imagined futures. Urban rebels challenge colossal corporations, daring heists unfold through back alleys and the darkest corners of the online world, and technology—cybernetic upgrades, intelligent AIs, rogue hackers, and exotic weapons—drives provocative storytelling. Set across two volumes, it surveys the near-now and extrapolates plausible, dazzling futures, offering both an introduction to the genre and a comprehensive compendium for fans.

This volume builds on the multi-national, cross-cultural scope of the series, highlighting how global trends shape cyberpunk narratives and how inventive voices reinterpret classic aesthetics for contemporary readers. It invites readers to wander neon-lit streets and to consider what the future might hold as technology and society continue to evolve together.
