Neuromancer

November 1, 2004
William Gibson fans will welcome the 20th-anniversary edition of Neuromancer, the SF novel that launched cyberpunk and anticipated the Internet age. Gibson provides a new introduction, "The Sky Above the Port." .

This special audio edition celebrates the tenth anniversary of William Gibson's seminal work. Couched in the guise of an action-adventure tale, Gibson's landmark novel remains a cutting-edge vision of man and machine in the twenty-first century. Gibson's reading is complex and brilliant; at times it's almost hallucinatory in its insistence, passion and unrelenting irony. Gibson's narration is enhanced by a richly orchestrated score and subtly chosen effects, which bring this futuristic tapestry to life. Set against the vast sea of some future cyberspace, Neuromancer's vision is persuasive, making this a compelling journey for those who want an Orwellian look into our future by a true visionary.
