The Back Cover Blurb

The world of Shadowrun is a unique fusion of science fiction and fantasy - a near future world where dragons run megacorporations and cybernetically enhanced trolls walk the streets. It is a world where magic and science intertwine and the cultural traditions of the past collide with the technological innovations of the future. The art of Shadowrun is a reflection of this rich environment - a blend of the ultramodern, near-future imagery of cyberpunk and the more traditional characters and creatures of fantasy. Since the release of the Shadowrun roleplaying game in 1989, thousands of illustrations have been produced for the game and this volume brings together the finest of those images. High Tech and Low Life: The Art of Shadowrun features work by some of the most gifted and imaginative artists working today. This volume should make a welcome addition to the collections of art enthusiasts and science fiction fans alike.

Better than that other guy thinks

Not a bad way to spend $10. Yeah some of the art could be bigger, and there could be more bells and whistles but the book itself is a quality product. Sturdy. All the great Shadowrun art (many of the same artists created for Battletech - there should be a "Art of Battletech book too!!!!) FOr those who still play the game in its new rendition this is a great way to get the feel of the picture that the original Shadowrun creators wanted you to get. It has a great forward and also info on each artist. Good book. I do not game and havent for years, so this is a perfect book to keep a the memory of the Shadowrun world alive.And if anyone cares, FASA corp is out of business. Get this book while you can!
