Burning Chrome
 Burning Chrome is a short story written by William Gibson and first published in Omni in July 1982. Gibson first read the story at a science fiction convention in Denver Colorado in the autumn of 1981 to an audience of four people among them Bruce Sterling (who Gibson later said completely got it). It was nominated for a Nebula Award in 1983 and collected with the rest of Gibson's early short fiction in a 1986 volume of the same name.
