description: Episode One of the classic novel! Earth lies prostrate beneath the lash of the Orbital powers and Earths Balkanized nations have no choice but to let the Orbitals plunder their remaining wealth. Below the zone of Orbital control buttonheads panzerjocks dirtgirls and hustlers scramble for their ticket out of the gravity well. But now if the criminal underworld and the guerilla underground can join forces there is a chance to shift the balance of power in a war fought on the ground by hardwired commandos in the air by high-flying deltajocks and by genius hackers in the neural interface. As Roger Zelazny said Hardwired is a tough sleek juggernaut of a story punctuated by strobe light movements coursing to the wail of jets and the twang of steel guitars glittering nasty and noble and told in a style perfectly suiting its content. It has all of my favorite things blood love fire hate and a high ideal or two. I wish Id written this one.
