Now a mysterious new employer has recruited him for a last-chance run at an unthinkably powerful artificial intelligence.

Community Reviews
Neuromancer is a foundational cyberpunk novel that still reads as a sharp, culturally rich classic. The comments praise its lasting influence on later science fiction, its fast, gripping storytelling, and its status as a book worth revisiting. The main caution is that the dense virtual reality and tech jargon can feel confusing on a first pass. The Kindle deal is matched at bookshop.org for the same price, with the option to support an independent bookstore.
