Immerse yourself in the cyberpunk world with 'Neuromancer', the novel that catapulted William Gibson to success. Case, a talented cyberspace cowboy, is betrayed and stripped of his gift. In the ultra-technological suburbs, a dangerous mission offers him a second chance and a possible cure, but at a high price. This masterpiece blends high technology with a film noir sensibility, in the style of Hammett, creating a microchip odyssey.
William Ford Gibson is an American and Canadian speculative fiction writer and essayist widely credited with pioneering the science fiction subgenre known as cyberpunk, a category from which he has repeatedly distanced himself. Beginning his writing career in the late 1970s, his early works were noir, near-future stories that explored the effects of technology, cybernetics, and computer networks on humans, a "combination of lowlife and high tech"—and helped to create an iconography for the Information Age before the ubiquity of the Internet in the 1990s. Gibson coined the term "cyberspace" for "widespread, interconnected digital technology" in his short story "Burning Chrome" (1982), and later popularized the concept, along with his usage of the "matrix", in his acclaimed debut novel Neuromancer (1984). These early works of Gibson's have been credited with "renovating" science fiction literature in the 1980s.
