Well, I didn’t read Neuromancer until the late 80’s, might have even been 1990, but it’s been an inspiration since. There’s nothing that I can add that so many haven’t said already. Great article over here at TheGauardian.com  The Man Who Saw Tomorrow.

On its release, Neuromancer won the “big three” for science fiction: the Nebula, Philip K Dick and Hugo awards. It sold more than 6m copies and launched an entire aesthetic: cyberpunk. In predicting this future, Gibson can be said to have helped shape our conception of the internet. Other novelists are held in higher esteem by literary critics, but few can claim to have had such a wide-ranging influence.

Congratulations Bill, it’s as good a read today as it was 30 years ago. That’s an amazing feat in science fiction.
