New York: Ace Books, 1994. First Ace Hardcover Edition (and Tenth Anniversary Edition).

An adventure story much enlivened by elaborate technical jargon and sleazy, streetwise characters - the pioneering "cyberpunk" novel and arguably the most influential SF novel of the 1980s" (Barron, Anatomy of Wonder II-439).
