 “Burning Chrome”
Chrome: her pretty childface smooth as steel, with eyes that would have been at home on the bottom of some deep Atlantic trench, cold gray eyes that lived under terrible pressure.
Chrome’s castle is dissolving, sheets of ice shadow flickering and fading, eaten by the glitch systems that spin out from the Russian program, tumbling away from our central logic thrust and infecting the fabric of the ice itself.
She was one of the Boys, Chrome, a member in good standing of the local Mob subsidiary.

When "Burning Chrome," the title story in William Gibson's first short story collection, appeared, it grabbed readers by the collar and shook them up a bit.
Still, "Burning Chrome," with its tale of vengeance and high-stakes theft, remains the centerpiece of this collection.

 William Gibson, Burning Chrome
Originally published in 1986, Burning Chrome contains ten short stories authored (or co-authored) by William Gibson in the late 1970s and early 1980s, augmented by a new introduction by Gibson himself.
It would be impossible to finish a review of this collection without mentioning the bookend stories, "Johnny Mnemonic" and "Burning Chrome." The movie which shares its name with the first story draws very heavily on the latter as well.
"Burning Chrome" is less action, more emotion, exploring the results of human lives destroyed or damaged in the vicarious quests for emotional thrills or physical perfection.

 William Gibson: Burning Chrome
It was huge, all chrome and neon, and the owner was very proud of it; he had helped hijack the truck himself.
No light burned in that room, but the city's dim neon aura filtered in through venetian blinds and al- lowed him to see the faces of the dozen or more people who sat perched on the bed and the couch and the arm- chairs and the stools in the kitchenette.
At first he thought that their eyes were open, but then he realized that the dull pupils were sealed beneath nictitating mem- branes, third eyelids that reflected the faint shades of neon from the window.

"Burning Chrome" is a story about two cowboys, one of them Bobby Quine who later became Case's mentor, who pulled off the ultimate theft from an underworld queen.
From the man who wrote the classic cyberpunk novel, Burning Chrome is a collection of early Williami Gibson short stories, each one breaking new ground in the science fiction world.
The blurb on the back of the book had quotes saying "father of the term cyberspace" and "truly original" and "new classic that has revitalized the genre" etc. The funny thing is that all that stuff was true, but I still didn't like the book.

 William Gibson: Burning Chrome. A book review by jpoc.
The opening shot in the book, "Johnny Mnemonic" is one of those rare tales that burns its way into your head.
From the anonymous barfly world of "The Belonging Kind", up into the dying orbit of an old Russian space station in "Red Star, Winter Orbit" and back to the seedy hacker world of "Burning Chrome" Gibson delivers a set of tales for which the phrase "assault on the senses" is no exaggeration.
The book is a fine introduction to both Gibson and the cyber-punk genre and it is a book that every SF fan should own and re-read regularly.

 Burning Chrome
As critically important as William Gibson's novels are to the literature of cyberpunk (and beyond), "Burning Chrome," the definitive collection of Gibson's early short fiction, remains the best way to go to get the concentrated essence of his prose.
Gibson's intensely detailed renderings of cyberspace, where distinctions between in-screened worlds and real time-space worlds are blurred and where human/machine hybrid life forms abound, display an uncannily original and affecting style.
Towers and fields ranged in the colorless non-space of the simulation matrix, the electronic consensus-hallucination that facilitates the handling and exchange of massive quantities of data.

The rest of the story unfolds with Bobby deciding to break into the system of a notorious hacker called Chrome, who handles money transfers for organized crime, and Automatic Jack reluctantly agreeing to help him.
One line from this story — "...the street finds its own uses for things" — has become a widely-quoted aphorism for describing the sometimes unexpected uses to which users can put technologies (for example, hip-hop DJs' reinvention of the turntable, which changed it from a medium of reproduction into one of production).
This story and "Dogfight" were also published in a collection of William Gibson short stories, also titled Burning Chrome.

After the war, everyone had a car—no wings for it—and the promised superhighway to drive it down, so that the sky itself darkened, and the fumes ate the marble and pitted the miracle crystal…”

William Gibson is best known as the author of Neuromancer -- his first novel, which caused him to be hailed in  The Sunday Times as "the information age's resident populist prophet".
Gibson gives his best in the hard work of recalling, fixing and arranging moments in short, moving and touchy stories.
Great stories like "Burning Chrome", "Fragments of a hologram rose", "Jhonny Mnemonic" or "New Rose Hotel" show the hints of the world he unrolls in his novels, but maybe the most wonderful thing is seeing him at work on completly different styles than usual, like in the astinishing "Hinterand".
