Fiction. Science Fiction. HTML:Twenty years ago, it was as if someone turned a light on. The future blazed into existence with each deliberate word that William Gibson laid down. Neuromancer didn??t just explode onto the science fiction scene. It permeated into our consciousness, our culture, our science, and our technology. The winner of the Hugo, Nebula, and Philip K. Dick Awards, Neuromancer showed us what we were capable of creating and what we were capable of destroying??and illuminated the dark corners of the path we were headed down. Today, we have this science fiction masterpiece to thank for the term ??cyberpunk,? for easing our way into the information age and Internet society.

Too dense for me. Kept getting lost. Ended up okay. ( )
  LibraryJamesMac | Nov 16, 2023 |
Can you spoil a book that's older than you? Given the current state of... *gestures vaguely *... everything, I've recently become interested in the cyberpunk genre. After learning that a lot of the lingo was linked to Toronto kids on various drugs, I decided to check out the source.

I loved it. It was fun. I love the way Gibson played with language. It would be comparable to Burgess' A Clockwork Orange, but it actually impacted the way we talk today. I came of age as the Matrix released, I've sat in classrooms learning of event horizons and I've been told the Singularity is 20 years away for the last 15 years. I wonder if I had read this in high school, would I have delved deeper into software coding?

You can find wonderful summaries of this book elsewhere. But should you read it? If you liked the Matrix, if you thought the Johnny Mnemonic movie was almost good, if you like gritty retrofuturism, then absolutely. Beware, though, the women in the book, even the ones with personalities, often feel like they only exist to make sure our main character doesn't let himself die. ( )

Much of the novel went over my head. I think a re-read is in order, but some time off still.

Curate's egg. Some parts enjoyable, others no idea what was going on. ( )

A Book With A One-Word Title

The back cover of my copy gushes that Neuromancer is "the first truly realized glimpse of humankind's digital future." Its inclusion on Time magazine's "100 Best English-language Novels from 1923 - 2005" (a list I find reasonably accurate) led me to believe this book would be different than most of the science fiction I've read. In its favor, the novel's version of virtual reality reads much like the modern equivalent in effect more so than technical details. And the AI entities driving much of the plot sound eerily familiar with the technology people are warning us against today. But the connections between the virtual and real worlds at the heart of the story rely heavily on physical impossibilities to progress the story. And that, along with writing that is not the "uncanny beauty" the jacket blurbs claim, is where science fiction always loses me. The fact that my copy is the 81st printing of Neuromancer might indicate that my opinion of the book differs significantly from the reading crowd. If you read my other reviews of science fiction, that won't surprise you.

Neuromancer reminds me of Star Trek: The Motion Picture, in which a sentient being, V'Ger, looks to evolve beyond its current, unsatisfactory state. The rag-tag band of criminals working with the AI entity at the heart of the story aren't as virtuous as the members of Star Fleet, but they are every bit as invested in the mission's success. And like the movie, the novel left me questioning exactly what the ending meant. Unlike the movie, there are follow-on novels which might explain, but I didn't find the book interesting enough to want to read on. ( )

A new vocabulary for a transformed reality: the deeply influential cyberpunk classic, 30 years on from its original publication

I have to apologize for failing to review William Gibson's "Neuromancer" when it appeared last year. I was led to believe I had done Mr. Gibson an injustice when this novel (the author's first) won both of the important 1984 best-of-the-year awards in science fiction: the Nebula and the Hugo. Now that I have read the book, I would like to cast a belated ballot for Mr. Gibson.

Ovo je roman koji je započeo kiberpank revoluciju, prva knjiga koja je dobila sveto trojstvo nagrada u žanru naučne fantastike - Hugo, Nebula i Filip K. Dik.

Sa Neuromantom, Vilijem Gibson je predstavio svetu kiberprostor i naučna fantastika više nikada nije bila ista. Gibson je svojim romanom najavio sve ono što je došlo godinama kasnije, Internet revoluciju, Matriks filmska trilogiju i neverovatan razvoj informatičkih tehnologija. Kejs je najbolji kompjuterski kauboj koji krstari informatičkim supermagistralama, povezujući svoju svest sa softverom u kiberprostoru, krećući se kroz obilje podataka, pronalazeći tajne informacije za onoga ko može da plati njegove usluge. Kada prevari pogrešne ljude, oni mu se svete na užasan način, uništavajući njegov nervni sistem, mikron po mikron. Proteran iz kiberprostora i zarobljen u svom otupelom telu, Kejs je osuđen na smrt u tehnološkom podzemlju, sve dok ga jednog dana ne angažuju misteriozni poslodavci. Oni mu nude drugu priliku i potpuno izlečenje. Jedini uslov je da prodre u matricu, neverovatno moćnu veštačku inteligenciju kojom upravlja poslovni klan Tezje-Ešpul.

See, those things, they can work real hard, buy themselves time to write cookbooks or whatever, but the minute, I mean the nanosecond, that one starts figuring out ways to make itself smarter, Turing'll wipe it. Nobody trusts those fuckers, you know that. Every AI ever built has an electromagnetic shotgun wired to its forehead.
I never did like to do anything simple when I could do it ass-backwards.
Cyberspace. A consensual hallucination experienced daily by billions of legitimate operators, in every nation, by children being taught mathematical concepts. … A graphic representation of data abstracted from banks of every computer in the human system. Unthinkable complexity. Lines of light ranged in the nonspace of the mind, clusters and constellations of data. Like city lights, receding.
"To call up a demon you must learn its name. Men dreamed that, once, but now it is real in another way. You know that, Case. Your business is to learn the names of programs, the long formal names, names the owners seek to conceal. True names ...." [AI Neuromancer to Case, p243]
