Neuromancer (Special 20th Anniversary Edition)by William Gibson
AwardsWinner of science fiction's "Triple Crown" — the Hugo, Nebula, and Philip K. Dick awards
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher 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. About the AuthorWilliam Gibson is the New York Times bestselling author of Virtual Light, Count Zero, Burning Chrome, Mona Lisa Overdrive, Idoru, and All Tomorrow's Parties.
