There's not a single character in this book that I care about. The overuse of adjectives just gets in the way of the story. I don't care exactly what every character is wearing or exactly what they look like. ( ![]() It's easy to see how heavily Neuromancer influences the cyberpunk genre to this day. All the tropes and aesthetics are present, but it still holds up. Unlike sometimes where a foundational piece of a genre feels cliched because so many others came along and copied it, Gibson's work still manages to stay engaging. At times the technical babble is a little hard to follow, and some of the slang meanings take a while to pick up on, but that doesn't detract overall from the book. Very strange, yet interesting…. No idea what to rate it. May revisit in the future, if I get a craving for a really weird read. Even with Wikipedia and having seen The Matrix, this was still difficult to make sense of. This has been an iconic title for so long now that I'm almost embarrassed to be a first time reader in 2022. It's an ambitious book. There are many neologisms and other words used in unfamiliar senses. Written before the internet, the book imagines much of what is soon to come. But, of course, the author doesn't get everything right, and this adds to the confusing buzz. The plot is loosely described. It's something like a high tech Mad Max - dystopian, but advanced. I struggled to fully grasp what was going on, and to keep track of the plot. But this may be intentional on the part of the author. This is a landmark work, and I'm glad I've read it, but . . . I didn’t love it, but it certainly had energy galore and he is fantastic at worldbuilding.
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.
