Great work of fiction.
When approaching this book, it is helpful to remember that it was written in 1984. Today's readers may have a hard time coping with Gibson's view of a future that in many ways we have begun to surpass.Nueromancer sets the stage for an epic tale (comprised of Gibson's Nueromancer, Count Zero, and Mona Lisa Overdrive) in which the main characters move in and out of the shadows of the trilogy - no one character appears in more than two of the novel... at least not in a way that is easily perceived.Read Nueromancer with an open mind. Gibson's tale is not so much about the technologies themselves as they are the implications of our rapid technological growth.
