Ambient is the dystopian debut novel of cyberpunk writer Jack Womack, the first in his Dryco series.[1] Published in 1987, it was translated into Slovak by Michal Hvorecký, and has a significant cult following.[2] Actor Bruce Willis optioned the novel, and renewed the option in 1995 (thus enabling Womack to quit his "day job").[3]
