Burning Chrome (1986) is a collection of short stories written by William Gibson. Most of the stories take place in Gibson's Sprawl, a shared setting for most of his early cyberpunk work. Many of the ideas and themes explored in the short stories were later revisited in Gibson's popular Sprawl trilogy.

Reception

Dave Langford reviewed Burning Chrome for White Dwarf #83, and stated that "this was a collection which had to appear—even if three collaborations and an over-arty first published story are needed to fill it out. They're strong, punchy tales which his glittering 'technosleaze' trademark: some are obvious precursors of the novels, and the fine title piece's hair-raising cyberspace jaunt is echoed all too closely in Neuromancer." J. Michael Caparula reviewed Burning Chrome in Space Gamer/Fantasy Gamer No. 82. Caparula commented that "This is vital reading; harsh, gritty, complex, visionary."
