I read this quite a few years ago, but it was good. Ok, I admit that when the main character is called 'cowboy' I was a little bit dubious, but it is explained as to why. Ok, it's still a little bit sad but after a few pages when the action starts you really don't care to much about it any more.
Over all its a good fun book, I did like it and seeing it here and writing this has reminded me so I think I might even read it again now.

William Gibson might have invented all the rules of cyberpunk but Hardwired was the book that took those rules and had the most fun with them. First published in 1986, two years after Neuromancer, Hardwired takes all the cyberpunk architypes, the lawless hacker, the fusion of metal and flesh, the faceless corporations, the electronic frontier of the net, and throws them into a story that spans a fractured, balkanised United States and demonstrates serious action chops. The sequence where Cowboy takes his ground-effect tank on a midnight blockade-running trip across the central states is one amazing sequence in many.
I loved the book back then, I mourned the day I lost my only paperback copy and it's with great joy that I discovered it finally available on Kindle. I like my sci-fi to be about man and his creations, not about space opera or aliens or time travel. If you do too, if you like dark, dystopian visions of a place that sounds like a credible vision of the future, then you've GOT to read this. With trepidation, I'm off to read the long-awaited sequel. It's got a lot to live up to...

This is cyberpunk of a quality I've rarely read. Tightly scriped, coherent story. Characters I believed in. Strugle, honour amongst the ruins of civilisation, love. And damn good fights, weapons and tech.
