Neuromancer is a science fiction masterpiece written by William Gibson. The novel, winner of various awards such as the Hugo Award and the Nebula Award, follows Case, a computer hacker, looking to make it big in the dystopian world of tech. Neuromancer is full of high-minded concepts, including man-machine interaction, artificial intelligence, and virtual reality. In the future where computers, cyberspace and the "Matrix" control the world, the story follows Case's journey of redemption as he navigates his way through a world of criminals, secret agents and other hackers.Case is manipulating data through computer crimes, until he is almost killed as a result. But his near-death experience gives him an opportunity to gain an insight into a world he thought impenetrable—the matrix. His journey leads to him joining a hacking crew and then a daring mission to seize an AI computer that could revolutionize the future of computing. Neuromancer's unique blend of action, sci-fi and philosophy has made it a timeless classic. Gibson's writing transports the reader to a world where technology is used for good or evil and the boundaries between each become increasingly blurred. His brilliant vision of a dystopian world has left a lasting impression in popular culture, paving the way for subsequent generations of sci-fi writers.

Burly Vinson (Founder/Snappies) As I said, I’m a SciFi nerd, so right now I’m reading Neuromancer by William Gibson. As for what I expect to get from it? Probably not a lot from an entrepreneur point of view, but that’s fine by me.

Damien Mulley (Owner/Mulley Communications) The coiner of "cyber space", the guy that created a virtual world full of hackers called "the Matrix" in 1984. A seminal book for me. I read it as a teen and it turned computers into a thing rockstars used. Possibly encouraged me to do things with computers you are not meant to do. A catalyst, a rabbit hole.
