The sky above the port was the colour of television tuned to a dead channel William Gibson revolutionised science fiction in his 1984 debut Neuromancer The writer who gave us the matrix & coined the term 'cyberspace' produced a first novel that won the Hugo Nebula & Philip K Dick Awards & 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 & his depictions of the rise & abuse of corporate power look more prescient every day Part thriller part warning Neuromancer is a timeless classic of modern SF & one of the 20th century's most potent & compelling visions of the future
