Henry Dorsett Case, a low-level hustler, former hack, and console cowboy, has crashed and burned. His nerves were damaged, cutting him off from the digital matrix, and he slouches through life. Until he meets Molly, an augmented razorgirl, who offers him a deal on behalf of a shadowy man called Armitage. His nerves are repaired, and matrix access is restored, but it's not so simple. Unless he completes the job, sacs of poison will explode inside him, crippling him again. And the job? That might be impossible.

Neuromancer, the first novel to win the Hugo, Nebula, and Philip K. Dick Awards, has become a seminal part of SF history. Coining the term "cyberspace" and lighting a fuse on the Cyberpunk movement, it is one of the 20th century's most potent visions of the future. Part thriller, part warning, it is one of the most exquisitely observed details in SF.

Empire Gibson is better than almost anybody at noticing what's genuinely interesting about the world. Ned Beauman describes Neuromancer as a book of exquisitely observed detail. Eileen Gunn welcomes you to The Best Of The Masterworks: a selection of the finest in science fiction.
