SPECIAL 20TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION —THE MOST IMPORTANT AND INFLUENTIAL SCIENCE FICTION NOVEL OF THE PAST TWO DECADES Twenty years ago, it was as if someone turned on a light. The future blazed into existence with each deliberate word that William Gibson laid down. The winner of Hugo, Nebula, and Philip K. Dick Awards, Neuromancer didn’t just explode onto the science fiction scene—it permeated into … into the collective consciousness, culture, science, and technology. Today, there is only one science fiction masterpiece to thank for the term “cyberpunk,” for easing the way into the information age and Internet society. Neuromancer’s virtual reality has become real. And yet, William Gibson’s gritty, sophisticated vision still manages to inspire the minds that lead mankind ever further into the future.

Another great book by a great author. Highly recommended for sci-Fy fans.
this book is about 40 years old now, but except for a few dated concepts, is still mesmerizing. This is the book that started SF cyberpunk, and it’s amazing what he creates. Now a lot of what he wrote has be used by hundreds of other authors, so it seems old hat, if you are into cyberpunk, but this is THE origin story. Unforgettable.
What can you say…the classic cyberpunk novel with “Escape From New York” tie in!
This wonderful story set the stage for what we know as the internet and VR. It was so far ahead of its time. A fantastic read by a brilliant author.
A true classic which has spawned an entire genre of imaginative cyber and science fiction. Fast, engaging and satisfying.
One of the modern classics.
Very confusing.
What can I say? The Sprawl was a chilling vision of the future Internet. These days we may not jack in and get killed by Black ICE, but the effects are pretty much the same. An all time classic.
Still one of the best books ever written.
Still a very good book, read it!
The book that started cyberpunk. Gibson’s first and best book.
Still great!
Gibson is always worth reading, this book essentially began his Sprawl series and defines cyberpunk.
Each word of dialogue rings like a bell. Gibson is the Master, & revisiting his work has become a regular to-do.
Great sci-fi from the 80’s that predicted the Internet, hacking, and the importance of data. The word cyberspace was created in this novel.
Three story lines come together in this cyber-punk classic. Very creative story telling.
Foundational cyberpunk text. I read it years ago and I still remember some of the beautifully written prose. I need to read it again!
Over twenty years later, Neuromancer still holds up. A classic for a reason.
Ah, here it is, the origins of the cyberpunk genre along with Blade Runner. I’ve read Neuromancer three times over the years and I can confirm I still have no idea what the hell this book is about. I mean, I can sort of tell you the plot and it hangs together but it is an experience rather than a story.
Neuromancer has inspired many …
A sci fi classic. Gibson introduced the term cyberspace in this book and foresaw the rise of the internet.
