I anden halvdel af det 21. århundrede domineres verden af de multinationale selskaber. Der findes ikke længere regeringer eller demokratiske valg. Den 24-årige cybercowboy Case sidder udbrændt og fortvivlet i megabyen Chiba i Japan. Han afsløres i at stjæle fra sine arbejdsgivere og berøves derfor evnen til at rejse i Cyberspace. Han rekrutteres af den kvindelige agent Molly. Bag hende lurer den kunstige intelligens Wintermute, der drømmer om at tilkæmpe sig egenliv og forene sig med Matrix’en ...Neuromantiker er 1. bind i den amerikanske forfatter William Gibsons Cyberspace-trilogi, der visionært skildrer et 21. århundrede, hvor informationsteknologien dominerer den menneskelige tilværelse. Hans store nyskabelse var begrebet Cyberspace, eller Matrix’en, en betegnelse for den parallelle virkelighed, der har egenliv i computernes internationale netværk. Hans helte er cybercowboys, computer-fikserede fredløse, der via dermatroder på tindingerne kobler sig direkte ind i Cyberspaces uendelige datarum. Gibsons trilogi satte i virkelighedens verden gang i cyberpunk-bevægelsen og betragtes som en moderne klassiker.William Gibson (f. 1948) er en amerikansk-canadisk science fiction-forfatter. Han er blevet kaldt cyberpunkens fader – dels fordi det var ham, der i 1982 fandt på begrebet cyberspace, og dels på grund af den store succes han opnåede med sin første roman ”Neuromantiker” (originaltitel ”Neuromancer”), der udkom i 1984."En milepæl i nyere litteratur"- Jacob Levinsen, Berlingske Tidende"Den amerikanske forfatter William Gibson er genrens guru, og Neuromantiker betragtes som en klassiker. Den er for cyberpunk, hvad Stormfulde højder er for kærlighedsromanen og Sherlock Holmes for krimien."- Flemming Chr. Nielsen, Jyllands-Posten

Former rock singer Hollis Henry has lost a lot of money in the crash, which means she can't turn down the offer of a job from Hubertus Bigend, sinister Belgian proprietor of mysterious ad agency Blue Ant. Milgrim is working for Bigend too. Bigend admires the ex-addict's linguistic skills and street knowledge so much that he's even paid for his costly rehab. So together Hollis and Milgrim are at the front line of Bigend's attempts to get a slice of the military budget, and they gradually realize he has some very dangerous competitors. Which is not a great thought when you don't much trust your boss either.Gibson's new novel, set largely in London, spookily captures the paranoia and fear of our post-Crash times.

William Gibson, author of the extraordinary multiaward-winning novel Neuromancer, has written his most brilliant and thrilling work to date . . .The Mona Lisa Overdrive. Enter Gibson's unique world-lyric and mechanical, sensual and violent, sobering and exciting-where multinational corporations and high tech outlaws vie for power, traveling into the computer-generated universe known as cyberspace. Into this world comes Mona, a young girl with a murky past and an uncertain future whose life is on a collision course with internationally famous Sense/Net star Angie Mitchell. Since childhood, Angie has been able to tap into cyberspace without a computer. Now, from inside cyberspace, a kidnapping plot is masterminded by a phantom entity who has plans for Mona, Angie, and all humanity, plans that cannot be controlled . . . or even known. And behind the intrigue lurks the shadowy Yazuka, the powerful Japanese underworld, whose leaders ruthlessly manipulate people and events to suit their own purposes . . . or so they think.

Also included in the book is a fascinating autobiographical sketch: his upbringing in the South, the early death of his parents and his escape into books; and the move to Canada to avoid the draft.Over the years Gibson has been eagerly commissioned by Wired, Rolling Stone, the New York Timesand other influential journals, as well as tiny publishers, online sources and magazines that no longer exist.
