words by The Edge


GIBSON'S WRY DRAWL is the perfect voice for his labyrinthine tale of a double quest--of a pervasive artificial intelligence to achieve liberation, and of chilling human efforts to prevent that. The grittiness of the world portrayed, plus Gibson's skillful prose texture, set off a whole subgenre of science fiction called "cyberpunk." The novel, Gibson's first, won all three of the major science fiction awards when it came out in 1984--The Hugo, The Nebula, and The Philip K. Dick. Though I've read the book three times, there were parts I still didn't quite get until I heard them from Gibson himself on this tape. Among other things, a startling undercurrent of humor comes through.
Neuromancer is the single most influential science fiction book of the late twentieth century. Adroitly abridged--you miss nothing of the book's plot or characterization--the tape is subtly enhanced by voice-processing along with background and bridge elements of music. This is a high-production-value work by Time Warner, but it doesn't try to knock you over. Everything serves the story.
