Abstract

William Gibson's cyberpunk novel Neuromancer sparked a new scifi genre when it was released in 1984. His ideas for the structure of information in cyberspace were weirdly predictive, and provided a novel approach to the future that dealt intimately with the technology of that era.

This novel first win the holy trinity of science fiction: the Hugo Award, the Nebula Award and the Philip K. Dick Award.
