Neuromancer is a classic debut by a genre revolutionary who found the limitations of any genre too restrictive. This book defined the face of modern literature for decades to come, winning all the major genre awards (the Hugo, Nebula, and Philip K. Dick Awards) and becoming an international bestseller. Two sequels followed, Count Zero and Mona Lisa Overdrive, which, together with Neuromancer, form the Cyberspace trilogy. The trilogy became the cornerstone of cyberpunk—a style and a cultural phenomenon.
The future here is a world of high technology and bioengineering, global computer networks and all-powerful transnational corporations—a cruel and merciless world. Here, a master hacker and a desperate samurai girl must fulfill a mysterious mission programmed decades ago in the unknown depths of artificial intelligence. Here, the Japanese mafia espouses the ideals of the ancient samurai code, the virtual world is populated by characters from the voodoo pantheon, and a girl who can enter cyberspace without a computer becomes a goddess for her generation...
In addition to the trilogy itself, the book includes the "Burning Chrome" series of short stories, including "Johnny Mnemonic," which served as the basis for Robert Longo's cult film (starring Keanu Reeves, Takeshi Kitano, and Dolph Lundgren), and "New Rose Hotel," adapted for the screen by Abel Ferrara (starring Willem Dafoe, Christopher Walken, and Asia Argento).
