Notes on 'Synners' (1991) by Pat Cadigan (b. 1953)

Pat Cadigan’s Synners is a landmark Cyberpunk work that not only shatters Cyberpunk’s male cowboy archetype, but also disrupts Cyberpunk’s idealised, typically masculine disembodiment of technological transcendence. Cadigan’s thoughts on gender fluidity and hybridity form a bridge to second-wave feminist Cyberpunk of the 1990s. Synners won the Arthur C. Clarke Award (1992).
