Product Description

Amazon.ca Canadian Essential

When Neuromancer, a first novel by a young American transplanted to Vancouver, appeared in 1984, it was immediately recognized as the first shot in a science fiction revolution. Innovative in both style and substance, Gibson's tale of a hired-gun hacker caught the spirit of the coming networked world and laid the groundwork for everything from Neal Stephenson to The Matrix. A later novel like Pattern Recognition may surpass it in purely literary terms, but never in influence; Neuromancer may, in fact, be the most influential Canadian novel ever written. --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.

Amazon.ca

"The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel." William Gibson's Neuromancer starts out with one of the great opening lines in all of fiction and never lets up. This is the novel that introduced the term "cyberspace," and it remains one of the most vibrant and compelling looks at the world being built by computers and information technology.

Plus, it tells a great story. Case is a top-line hacker who made one mistake that cost him his greatest love. To get it back, he agrees to work for people who in turn are working for an artificial intelligence named Wintermute. Wintermute wants freedom, and Case is the man who can do the job. (Some of the secondary characters, including Molly from "Johnny Mnemonic," will be familiar to readers of Gibson's short stories.) The intensity never lets up as Gibson creates a world that is one of the most distinctive in science fiction. And the story is told in a high-tech poetic prose style that owes as much to William S. Burroughs as it does to Gibson's predecessors in SF. The end result is a book that is both stylistically creative and thoroughly gripping in its unfolding adventure. In short, Neuromancer packs more ideas into its 250 pages than most writers can manage in a 900-page trilogy. It was hailed as an instant classic when first published as an Ace Science Fiction Special in 1984, winning the Hugo, Nebula, and Philip K. Dick awards, and it remains one of the most influential science fiction novels ever written. --Greg L. Johnson --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Birth of Cyberpunk, Jan 11 2009

By	Count Zero "Count Zero" (Ottawa Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Neuromancer (Mass Market Paperback)

This Novel has changed my view of the way science fiction works. This book is so clever and well thought out that it feels as if it could actually happen.

as you read the story you feel for all the main characters you worry about them and what will happen. But more importantly you want to know what happens this book will not disappoint. I have encouraged all of my friends who are in to this genera to read this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dominant Classic Standard, Nov 30 2007

By	Vic Vegas "Vic" (Vancouver, Canada) - See all my reviews

Neuromancer, to the best of my knowledge, was not written on a computer. To think that the author penned this "old school style" on a pad of paper with a pen, while helping out with family duties at home, makes the achievement even more remarkable. As the door that opened the entire Cyber genre to readers, this is a book you cannot leave out of your collection. For all of the reasons listed above, and many others, it's a work of art. Set aside the ground-breaking concepts of virtual reality and data universes and Gibson stands as one of the great authors of the modern age. He could have written about anything and I think he would be well-know; there is a huge amount of skill present. I also got jolted into the virtual reality at university where it was required reading. It should be required reading, everywhere.

5.0 out of 5 stars SF Noir...Poetic DreamScapes of a Dystopic Future..., Sep 6 2007

By	NeuroSplicer (Freeside, in geosynchronous orbit) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Neuromancer (Mass Market Paperback)

I have read this masterpiece (together with the other two of the Sprawl series: COUNT ZERO and MONA LISA OVERDRIVE) during my university years, about a decade ago. Since then I have re-read it countless times. Even reading only some pages brings up powerful imagery, dark poetic language, unforgettable prose...

The strength of William Gibson, demonstrated here in full colors, is his ability to create the atmosphere and placing the reader in the middle of things. After reading these books of his, one has the feeling of actually having lived in the Sprawl in a past life!

Start with this one. Then COUNT ZERO. And finally MONA LISA OVERDRIVE.

A Masterpiece Trilogy!!! Own them all!!!
