Neuromancer today is widely hailed as a classic science fiction novel. It was the first SFF book to win the Philip K. Dick Award, the Hugo, and the Nebula all in the same year. Its author, William Gibson coined the term cyberspace, nearly a full decade before the internet went commercial in the 90’s. Neuromancer also started an entire new science fiction sub-genre called cyberpunk.
With the string of accomplishments listed above it’s not hard to imagine why I was excited to read the book. Unfortunately, for me personally Neuromancer was a major let down.
