Dave: IMG Jim Lynch Makes Landscape Art... Out of Text



jimlynchIf Carl Hiaasen set one of his novels on a residential stretch of boundary line between British Columbia and Washington, or if Richard Russo's characters had relatives in the Pacific Northwest, the result might be something like Jim Lynch's Border Songs. Continue »

Neuromancer (Special 20th Anniversary Edition)

by William Gibson

Neuromancer (Special 20th Anniversary Edition) Cover

Awards

Winner of science fiction's "Triple Crown" — the Hugo, Nebula, and Philip K. Dick awards

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Special 20th anniversary edition — the most important and influential science fiction novel of the past two decades.

Twenty years ago, it was as if someone turned on a light. The future blazed into existence with each deliberate word that William Gibson laid down. The winner of Hugo, Nebula, and Philip K. Dick Awards, Neuromancer didn't just explode onto the science fiction scene — it permeated into the collective consciousness, culture, science, and technology.

Today, there is only one science fiction masterpiece to thank for the term "cyberpunk," for easing the way into the information age and Internet society. Neuromancer's virtual reality has become real. And yet, William Gibson's gritty, sophisticated vision still manages to inspire the minds that lead mankind ever further into the future.

Review:

"The 21st-century world of Neuromancer is freshly imagined, compellingly detailed and chilling in its implications....Mr. Gibson's style is all flash, and his characters are all pose without substance....The story moves faster than the speed of thought, but even when I wasn't sure what was happening, I felt confident that Mr. Gibson would pull me through, and he did." Gerald Jonas, The New York Times

Review:

"Gibson has revitalized science fiction as no other single force in a generation." Rolling Stone

Review:

"A mind-bender of a read." The Village Voice

Review:

"Kaleidoscopic, picaresque, flashy and decadent...an amazing virtuoso performance." The Washington Post

Review:

"It made me want to live in its world." The San Francisco Chronicle

Review:

"Gibson is tapped straight into our collective cultural mainline and shows no sign of stopping." Spin

Review:

"Terrific stuff. Gibson's horrifying vision of our terrible headlong rush to nowhere is a must for science fiction and adult fiction collections." Library Journal

Synopsis:

Multiple award-winning author Gibson provides a new Introduction to this special 20th anniversary edition of the most important and influential science fiction novel of the last two decades--the masterpiece that coined the term "cyberpunk" and eased the way into the modern information age.
