Johnny is a data courier who carries other people's memories—millions of them—downloaded directly into his brain. Working out of Beijing, he is hired to transport a package to the United States that far exceeds his mental capacity. While the massive data load threatens his health, headaches are the least of his problems. The Americans aren't the only ones after the data; the Yakuza are hunting Johnny too, and they only need his cryogenically frozen head to get what they want. This cyberpunk classic features William Gibson’s original short story, his full screenplay, and exclusive film stills, showcasing the acid-drenched, near-future vision of the author who first saw into tomorrow.
