   William Gibson · at 1:00:27

   Neuromancer by William Gibson is a seminal 1984 cyberpunk science fiction novel that anticipated the rise of the internet and cyberspace.

   Discussed

   “And speaking of forwardlooking, y'all might have heard this as well, but ¹¹¹ I believe finally ¹¹¹ William Gibson's Neurommancer is getting a a proper adaptation into a series. And I know that's a big one in terms of futurists and the idea of cyerspace, I think, was coined in that.”
