About this deal

But when something goes wrong, it falls to one group of synners - outcasts, failures and data junkies - to save society, fix the net. A 'Biffer' Smith goal saw them draw 1-1 with Tow Law Town and in the replay Wally Buffham scored the only goal in a 1-0 victory. The Los Angeles of Cadigan's future America is, well, pretty much Los Angeles today, maybe slightly bigger and dirtier but certainly not the Los Angeles of Blade Runner. The sense of an ever-connected life - a staple of the genre - seems much less surprising than it did in the 1990s. The characters are nearly as sharp as the lines, and the world-building is neat - info-LA plugged into every form of VR there was, from appetite-suppressant implants to insty-parties for the suburban wannabes, via somebody's gypsy cam and somebody else's wired up hot-suit.

Synners: The Arthur C Clarke award-winning cyberpunk

Drunk,” along with “sex” and “crazy,” boasts one of the longest collections of colorful synonyms in the English language. After coming third in their inaugural Northern League season and Arthur 'Dusty' Rhodes scoring a club record eight goals in one match away at South Bank on Christmas Day 1945, Synners went on to become runners-up on three consecutive occasions; 1949-50, 1950-51, 1951-52.

A last game of the season 4-0 win over Dunston Federation gave Synners the points to be champions; goals coming from Paul Roberts, Mick Rowntree, O'Gorman and Fletcher. Synthonia continued to make an impact in the FA Cup, reaching the 4th Qualifying Round on three occasions in 66-67, 72-73 and 78-79. Tony Wood (9th Synners all-time goal scorer with 121 goals) debuted in the 95-96 season, the same season also saw the fourth of Synthonia's Northern League title's with a narrow 2 point gap ahead of Bedlington Terriers. For one thing, there was a large number of (not particularly memorable) characters with shifting POV's.

Then people with no training, using their equipment in some sort of strange way that almost certainly is not supported by the drivers, go in there and use their mind to overcome it or something.

C. is a football club based in Billingham, England and are currently members of the Ebac Northern League. Cadigan is more interested in how technology and being networked impacts on the human condition and the methodology for accessing the net is less important.

They take images from the brains of performers, and turn them into a form which can be packaged, sold and consumed. A first league title came in the 1956-57 season with an eight point gap over nearest rivals West Auckland. Synthonia were promoted back to Division 1 at the first attempt in 86-87, winning the 2nd Division title and losing just one league game. She also prepared the type galleys for MidAmeriCon's various publications, including the convention's hardcover program book.This isn't the only example of the beauty of Cadigan's writing, but it is the most easily encapsulated. I had some issues with plausibility as to the way the threat came about and spread around; it just didn't seem very convincing to me.
