Neuromancer is a 1984 science fiction novel by American-Canadian writer William Gibson. Considered one of the earliest and best-known works in the cyberpunk genre, it is the only novel to win the Nebula Award, the Philip K. Dick Award, and the Hugo Award. It was Gibson's debut novel and the beginning of the Sprawl trilogy. Set in the future, the novel follows Henry Case, a washed-up hacker hired for one last job, which brings him in contact with a powerful artificial intelligence.

Timeless

I've somehow never really read any cyberpunk type sci-fi. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this.

Mindblowing also was how much of an influence this book has been on the genre, and how many of the concepts were so ahead of Gibson's time.

The story was relatively basic, but given everything else I don't think you can complain. I'd love to have read this when I was younger before so many of the tropes in the book were plastered everywhere.

I think I'll try some other classic sci-fis that are often mentioned in the same breath as Neuromancer soon.
