Hardwired Audiobook (Free)

In Walter Jon Williams’ vintage cyberpunk book, the remnants of the war-ravaged America endure in scattered, heavily armed colonies, as the wealthy Orbital Companies now control the world. Cowboy, an ex-fighter pilot who is becoming “hardwired” via skull sockets right to his lethal electronic hardware, is now a panzerboy, a hi-tech smuggler traveling armored hovertanks through the balkanized countryside. He teams up with Sarah, an similarly cyborized gun-for-hire, to produce a last stab at independence in the rapacious Orbitals. Collectively, they collect an improbable gang of misfits for the ride that will take them to the edge of the atmosphere.

This action-packed adventure is a must-read for science fiction fans everywhere.
