Neuromancer: The groundbreaking cyberpunk thriller Gibson William (2017)

William Gibson revolutionised science fiction with his 1984 debut, the book that defined the cyberpunk movement and inspired everything from The Matrix to Cyberpunk 2077. 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, Gibsons text remains stylish, its noir narrative still glitters like chrome in the shadows, and its depictions of the rise and abuse of corporate power look increasingly prescient. Part thriller and part warning, Neuromancer is a timeless classic of modern science fiction and one of the twentieth centurys most potent and compelling visions of the future.
