Synopsis
Winner of The Hugo, Nebula & Philip K. Dick Awards.
"The sky above the port was the colour of television, tuned to a dead channel."
William Gibson revolutionised science fiction in his 1984 debut Neuromancer.
The writer who gave us the matrix and coined the term 'cyberspace' produced a first novel that won the Hugo, Nebula and Philip K. Dick Awards, and lit the fuse on the Cyberpunk movement.
Henry Dorsett Case is a low-level hustler, former hack and 'console cowboy' who crashed and burned. His nerves were damaged and thus cut off from the digital matrix, he slouches through life . . . until he meets Molly, an augmented 'razorgirl', who offers him a deal on behalf of a shadowy man called Armitage.
More than three decades later, Gibson's text is as stylish as ever, his noir narrative still glitters like chrome in the shadows and his depictions of the rise and abuse of corporate power look more prescient every day.
Part thriller, part warning, Neuromancer is a timeless classic of modern SF and one of the 20th century's most potent and compelling visions of the future.
