Here are ten short stories, including "Johnny Mnemonic" (see also Keanu Reeves's 1995 film of the same name) and the titular "Burning Chrome," in which Gibson coined the term cyberspace. Gibson is one of the fathers of cyberpunk fiction, and these short works, as well as his 1984 Hugo-winning Neuromancer, are required reading.
