Neuromancer is a cyberpunk, science fiction masterpiece—a classic that ranks with 1984 and Brave New World as one of the twentieth century’s most potent visions of the future. In the year 2084, computer hacking is big business in a borderless virtual world where millions enjoy “cyberspace” adventures on their personal “deck”—the black market of cyberspace run by the Barrow Boys. Deckers use their wits to solve problems and take risks they cannot afford on their turf. But when the dangerous game of “simulation” goes viral, it may threaten not only the way humanity lives but also itself.

Take an inside look at the creation of one of the most influential and groundbreaking works in modern literature. Hailed as one of the greatest science fiction novels ever written, William Gibson’s seminal novel has helped define our century with its iconoclastic vision of a near dystopian future that’s now more potent than ever. Now available in a standard edition, this edition features a new introduction by author Patrick Wensink and additional excerpts from an unpublished 2002 lecture by Gibson.

The wildly inventive Neuromancer, by one of our generation’s most influential novelists, is a classic that ranks with 1984 and Brave New World as one of the twentieth century’s most potent visions of the future. William Gibson has woven together three distinct worlds—the near future, the far end, and cyberspace—to create a narrative tour de force.
