Product Description
SPECIAL 20TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION –
THE MOST IMPORTANT AND INFLUENTIAL SCIENCE FICTION NOVEL OF THE PAST TWO DECADES
Twenty years ago, it was as if a name turned on a light. The future blazed into being 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 equipment.
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 stark, sophisticated vision still manages to inspire the minds that lead mankind ever further into the future.Amazon.com Review
Here is the novel that ongoing it all, launching the cyberpunk generation, and the first novel to win the holy trinity of science fiction: the Hugo Award, the Nebula Award and the Philip K. Dick Award. With Neuromancer, William Gibson introduced the world to cyberspace–and science fiction has never been the same.
Case was the hottest computer cowboy cruising the information superhighway–jacking his consciousness into cyberspace, soaring through tactile lattices of data and logic, rustling encoded secrets for anyone with the money to buy his skills. Then he double-crossed the incorrect people, who caught up with him in a huge way–and burned the talent out of his brain, micron by micron. Banished from cyberspace, trapped in the meat of his physical body, Case courted death in the high-tech underworld. Until a dark conspiracy offered him a second chance–and a cure–for a fee….

This book has no flow and there are random facts about the tale throught the book. Add to that the writer uses words that aren’t even in being and never will be because there is already terms to discribe what what talked about. This is a waist of the paper it was printed on.

I had to read this piece of garbage in college.
It is absolute drivel. That’s all.

Let me place it this way. I got this book in December of 2001 and I finished it around late March of 2002. Let me further add that I am a “chain-reader”. While trying to read this book, I managed to end at least five additional books. In fleeting, this book DRAGGED. Don’t get me incorrect, I LOVE books that try (or are) different, make weird new worlds. But Gibson’s problem is that he just drops you in the middle of his world (that kinda sorta reminded me of Blade Runner, due to its darkness) and expects you to know everything. A simstim? What on planet is that? And to make matters worse, THERE’S NO GLOSSARY! Even DUNE and the WHEEL OF TIME series have glossaries and they’re simple as dirt to read. In fleeting, my head ongoing hurting after a while because I couldn’t bloody figure out what was going on. All the talk of “jacking in, jacking out” reminded me of the Matrix. Molly seemed pretty appealing at first, with her Wolverine-like retractable razorblade fingernails, but if the world she lives in can’t be visualized, then it may as well not exist, leaving Molly–and the reader–in a huge black void with nothing tangible to grab onto.
Perhaps if this was made into a movie everything would make sense and I could go back and read the book with a better understanding, but as it is, this book is downright confusing. But I know one thing, this book has proved that, even though it was the one to start the cyberpunk genre, doesn’t automatically mean that it’s the best.

I read a lot…permanently have…but I just didn’t get this book. When it was announced a special 25th anniversary edition, I had to read it.
Read the whole thing, but have no thought what the heck was going on. Could not follow the tale or the characters.
I am not a (perfect)idiot–professional degree and a lifetime of reading.
Maybe its a generational thing, I don’t know.
Zero stars.

There’s a new foreword in this edition by the leader which, sadly, has a rather glaring typo. Considering this is the 20th anniversary edition, I had expected a small bit more from the editors than this, especially considering they were only adding what, 3 pages of content at the beginning for the foreword? How can you not at least get persons few pages right? The editor that handled this should be ashamed of himself/herself and fired on the spot. This tainted my entire experience because I establish a hideous typo before I even got into the book. I despise typos and in an anniversary edition of the book, it is a right bring shame on.
Lousy editing on this edition, no doubt about it. Can’t judge this wasn’t caught and I hope a name lost their job over it.
EDIT: For persons that have an issue with me giving 1 star because of horrific editing, grow up and respect that others have differing opinions from your own. It’s my review, not yours.
