Neuromancer Hardback - 1994
by William Gibson
Summary
Reader reviews for Neuromancer
Review summary
Readers were sharply divided on Neuromancer. Many praised its visionary worldbuilding, lasting influence on cyberpunk, and uncanny foresight about the internet and virtual reality, calling its neon-soaked atmosphere and style memorable. Just as many found the experience frustrating: the slang-heavy prose, abrupt scene shifts, and minimal exposition left them confused, with the audiobook proving especially tough. The plot struck numerous reviewers as a simple heist with thin character work, and some noted dated 1980s elements and gender/orientalist issues. Several suggested it rewards rereading; others valued it more for historical importance than enjoyment.
Readers say this book is:
