Hardwired is a 1986 cyberpunk science fiction novel by Walter Jon Williams.
Book was nominee for the 1987 Locus Award.
The Orbital Corporations now control the world. In the ruins of an America ravaged by the Rock War, ex-fighter pilot Cowboy, who can be "hardwired" via skull sockets directly to his ride, has become a panzerboy, a hi-tech smuggler riding armored hovertanks through the balkanized countryside.
He teams up with Sarah, another tough-as-nails gun-for-hire, to make a last stab at independence from the rapacious Orbitals. They gather an unlikely gang of misfits for a ride that will take them to the edge of the atmosphere.
HardWired is part of a series which includes:
R. Talsorian Games, with Williams' assistance, published a sourcebook for Hardwired for their Cyberpunk role-playing game, which further expanded many of the concepts and the world setting of the novel.
