Neuromancer graphic novel7/5/2023 ![]() ![]() The novel introduces readers to Case, a disgraced hacker on the run from a drug kingpin and Molly, a cyborg mercenary.Ĭase and Molly agree to work for a mysterious figure named Armitage, only to find that the deal isn’t quite what it seemed. Neuromancer’s prose isn’t as fully realized as the writing in some of Gibson’s later work, but it’s as stylish and as memorable as anything he has written since. The setting and the morality are both presented in shades of gray, “like a television” (as the novel memorably begins) “tuned to a dead channel.” Neuromancer presents a gritty near-future world with all the shadiness of a film noir. In Neuromancer, Gibson lays out the blueprint to what would become its own sub-genre of science fiction: cyberpunk. Gibson’s first novel is not his only great work, but it’s by far his best known and most impactful. ![]() ![]() If you read just one book by William Gibson, it has to be Neuromancer. ![]()
