NARRATED BY ACTOR JASON FLEMYNG
William Gibson revolutionised science fiction in his 1984 debut Neuromancer. The writer who gave us the matrix and coined the term 'cyberspace' produced a first novel that won the Hugo, Nebula and Philip K. Dick Awards, and lit the fuse on the Cyberpunk movement.
More than three decades later, Gibson's text is as stylish as ever, his noir narrative still glitters like chrome in the shadows and his depictions of the rise and abuse of corporate power look more prescient every day. Part thriller, part warning, Neuromancer is a timeless classic of modern SF and one of the 20th century's most potent and compelling visions of the future.

      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.

      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." .

    • AudioFile Magazine
      Gibson's debut novel is the book that forever changed science fiction with a visionary style that forged the cyberpunk genre. With narrator Robertson Dean at the helm, this story of a washed-out computer hacker who is hired to do the unthinkable is reborn. Dean's heavy tone brings with it a weight that lifts the tale to new heights. As Henry Dorsett Case, Dean becomes a desperate and suicidal addict who will do anything to restore his central nervous system. Dean's ability to subtly shift his tone and conjure believable accents is particularly valuable in the realization of the story. The result is a listening experience that bears all the weight of a modern techno-thriller with all the excitement of an age-old adventure tale. L.B.
