PRESS ENTER. New York: Tor, [1990]. Small octavo, pictorial wrappers. First separate edition. Tor SF Double 26. Electronic monster and madness. In a sense this story is the direct descendant of Roger Zelazny's "My Name is Legion" in which the central character has wiped his identity from all records and databases and is free and invisible. It is one of the earliest SF stories to deal with the language of personal computer and of hackers, just becoming the rage in SF circles in the early 1980's, and of the stories that set the stage for the advent of William Gibson's NEUROMANCER (1984). Winner of the 1985 Hugo and 1984 Nebula awards for best novella. First published in ASIMOV'S, May 1984. Collected in Varley, BLUE CHAMPAGNE ... Niles, Illinois: Dark Harvest, 1986. A fine, unread copy. Bound with HAWKSBILL STATION by Robert Silverberg. (#159468).
