"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.

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.

Review of 'Neuromancer' on 'Storygraph'

This one has everything. At it’s core it’s a really good noir thriller full of great characters, but built on top of that is a really good science fiction novel full amazing concepts, and a wonderful piece of art with psychedelically poetic descriptive prose. I will definitely need to read it again

Impossibly forward thinking

Aucune note

It really is hard to believe how far ahead of its time this book is. While I found the style of the opening chapters more off-putting than intriguing, the story pulled me through. The back half of the book is relentlessly paced and amazing. I'll definitely be reading the sequel books to learn more about Gibson's world.
