Neuromancer, William Gibson
It’s a sign of lazy reading when you have to refer to a book’s Wikipedia entry to make sure what you thought was happening actually occurred in the book. Fortunately, I was mostly right. Neuromancer is one of those books that’s oft referred to in popular culture, especially considering that Gibson coined the phrase cyberspace. It’s been called the first cyberpunk novel. I couldn’t believe it was written in 1984, as forward thinking, both in substance and narrative, as the story is. I kept wondering how difficult it would be to turn this into a film. Seems 2009 will be the year. Read the book before you see the movie.
