Neuromancer  

Definition(s)

  • It seems impossible to overstate the cultural and literary impact of Neuromancer, William Gibson's 1984, original paperback novel that, in the mid-1990s, exploded into the mainstream. The novel, a fast-paced, gritty, Raymond Chandler-like meditation on a computing-fueled dystopia of the near future, had an impact on many of its readers much like that of Jack Kerouac's On the Road on the hipster-bohemian counter-culture of the 1950s and 1960s.
