Dick Awards, <i>Neuromancer</i> is a science fiction masterpiece--a classic that ranks as one of the twentieth century's most potent visions of the future.</b> <p/>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.

Gibson has that in common with Le Guin and with J. G. Ballard. <i>Neuromancer</i> sings to us as a collage of voices, a mixed chorus, some trustworthy and others malicious, some piped through masks."--James Gleick <p/> "Streetwise SF... one of the most unusual and involving narratives to be read in many an artificially induced blue moon."--<i>London Times</i> <p/> "Unforgettable...the richness of Gibson's world is incredible."--<i>Chicago Sun-Times</i><br><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>William Gibson</b>'s first novel, <i>Neuromancer</i>, won the Hugo Award, the Nebula Award, and the Philip K.
