In between holds from the library, I decided to pick Neuromancer up off my shelf at home. I remembered loving it when I first read it 8 years ago, but beyond the first act, this was pretty much a fresh experience.

Neuromancer is the cyberpunk sci-fi novel. Reading through today, you'll see tons of tropes common to the gritty sci-fi genre now, as it has clearly influenced works like [b:Ready Player One|9969571|Ready Player One (Ready Player One, #1)|Ernest Cline|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1500930947s/9969571.jpg|14863741] and [b:Altered Carbon|40792913|Altered Carbon (Takeshi Kovacs, #1)|Richard K. Morgan|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1531415180s/40792913.jpg|2095852], plus The Matrix, Bladerunner and even Solo.

Reading this book feels like watching one of those sci-fi movies. It's so easy to put yourself in the world Gibson created. With all the 80s nostalgia going around, I found myself hoping somebody picks up a screenplay and turns this into a movie so I could enjoy the story again.

The best cyberpunk novel there is, bar none. I read it for the first time, years ago, and the urging of one of my college professors. He was so right. I have come back to it several times over the years. I read it again this month, and I loved it just as much as I did the first time. I have a real obsession with classic sci-fi, and for me this book is right up there with Philip K. Dick.

It took me a full year to read it, starting in English and then moving to Spanish but quite enjoyed it in general. It was great to find so many references in more modern stories to this one.

Personalmente es una novela que me ha gustado y es un must de la ciencia ficción. También he de decir que conozco el género lo suficiente como para entender su contexto y estar familiarizada con la ambientación, y aún así ha habido partes que me han costado un poco. Por eso, por muy incónica/madre del género no puedo recomendarla para todo el mundo y le pongo sólo dos estrellas.

The language is quite demanding, and that makes it interesting: much slang, and the book’s neologisms are seldom explained when introduced, the reader is left to figure out what they mean.

Neuromancer is really, for me, the seminal work of cyberpunk fiction. While the tech seems a bit dated in some ways, the way Gibson depicts it makes the specs irrelevant. It's more concerned with the way we live than the gadgets that we use while living, and it's brilliant. A must-read for all sci-fi fans.

To be honest I was expecting something completely different when I set out to read Neuromancer. I was expecting a cyber-punk book but I think this was more of a sci-fi book with a lot of references to computers. I was expecting hackers, but I think William Gibson did a good job imagining hackers of the future. I was expecting outdated technology and while there was a small amount in the book, it was still very futuristic. This is the second Williiam Gibson book I’ve read (the other being The Difference Machine) and I kind of feel like his books can become confusing and can leave the reader with an uncertainty of what is actually happening. While Gibson is a very engaging writer about from my beef with complexity, I think this book left me wanting something different. I really think if I read this book in the 80’s it …
