David Whitmarsh rated Mirrorshades: 5 stars
Mirrorshades by Bruce Sterling
"The definitive cyberpunk short fiction collection."
Nice idea, and some interesting background to the history of technology. Unfortunately it suffers from excruciatingly low information density. The prose is verbose and repetitive as if was being padded to some target word count. I'm sure it could be edited to a quarter the size without losing any information.
I was losing the will to live after the nth page and yth time I read another paraphrase of "they f***ed up" in the chapter about the incorrectly ground Hubble mirror.
