William Gibson writes science fiction about technology, networks and the way new tools reshape work, identity and power before society fully understands them. Neuromancer follows hacker Case through a job involving artificial intelligence, virtual reality and corporate interests, introducing the term cyberspace to a wide readership and helping define cyberpunk.
