Staff Reviews

William Gibson is credited as the Father of Cyberpunk, largely on the basis of a handful of extraordinary short stories and THIS NOVEL, which broke on the SF scene like a whirlwind in 1983. In it, the outlaw hacker was solidly established as not only an archetype of science fiction but as an action hero. Neuromancer is a near-future noir thriller that added new idioms to SF, changed the language, and introduced a writer who has become one of the great original voices in fiction. -- Mark's Pick
