Synopsis:
Winner of the Hugo, Nebula, and Philip K. Dick Awards, Neuromancer is a science fiction masterpiece-a classic that ranks as one of the twentieth century's most potent visions of the future.
Case was the sharpest data-thief in the matrix-until he crossed the wrong people and they crippled his nervous system, banishing him from cyberspace. Now a mysterious new employer has recruited him for a last-chance run at an unthinkably powerful artificial intelligence. With a dead man riding shotgun and Molly, a mirror-eyed street-samurai, to watch his back, Case is ready for the adventure that upped the ante on an entire genre of fiction.
Neuromancer was the first fully-realized glimpse of humankind's digital future-a shocking vision that has challenged our assumptions about technology and ourselves, reinvented the way we speak and think, and forever altered the landscape of our imaginations.

Reviews:
Dean Kelly Neuromancer is a mind-bending read, rich in language and plot. In concept, it lies somewhere between a 'film noir' and 'Tron'. A lone hero, who is not very heroic, is embroiled in the machinations of mega-corporations, artificial intelligences and the odds are not in his favour.
A fantastic read, filled with great characters, rich imagery and beautifully written, it is an absolute treat.
