The winner of the Hugo, Nebula, and Philip K. Dick Awards, Neuromancer was the first fully-realized glimpse of humankind’s digital future—a shocking vision that has challenged our assumptions about our technology and ourselves, reinvented the way we speak and think, and forever altered the landscape of our imaginations."
Livro de William Gibson muito bom. É necessária um pouca da compreensão do cenário punk para entender a certa revolução que traz este livro, como por exemplo falar do céu como TV fora do ar e o jeito de falar de certos personagens. Superficialmente, é mais um livro com sexo, cowboys e Japão, mas por dentro é um ótimo livro, muito profundo. Recomendo.
