A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

The future will be a world of ambiguity, of good men gone bad and bad men doing good - our world of today, turned sideways. This is the future of Blade Runner and Akira, the world of cops and crooks written across a bleak landscape of urban decay, pollution, corruption, of multinational organisations pulling the strings of government and controlling the world with cyber Big Brothering. All the stories included in this volume are the greatest of noir crime writing - by tum evocative, haunting, brutal and heroic, but always original, and always visionary.
