Sinossi
Un mondo di cupa delinquenza e di elevata tecnologia, di droghe e computer, di traffico nero di organi umani, di popolosi quartieri dove si aggira il più squallido sottobosco umano. In questo mondo si muove Case, un tempo il miglior "cowboy" d'interfaccia, che, con la mente, riusciva a entrare e a muoversi nel "cyberspazio", dove la sua essenza disincarnata frugava nelle banche dati di ricchissime multinazionali per rubare le informazioni richieste dai suoi mandanti. Dopo aver cercato di ingannare alcuni di loro, il suo sistema nervoso è stato danneggiato in maniera tale da non poter più entrare nel "cyberspazio". Ma adesso gli viene offerta una nuova possibilità e sta soltanto a lui sfruttarla a dovere...

Context. Sometimes the key to understanding something is context. And never is that more the case than with the book Neuromancer. Neuromancer is a very famous, genre creating/changing book, winner of many awards. I’m reading Neuromancer for the first time; while not quite done, I find the story to b Leggi tutto
Adapted from ISawLightningFall.blogspot.com The first time I tried to read Neuromancer, I stopped around page 25. I was about 15 years old and I’d heard it was a classic, a must-read from 1984. So I picked it up and I plowed through the first chapter, scratching my head the whole time. Then I shoved i Leggi tutto
Towards the end of this novel, the protagonists, Case and Molly, are walking down the rooms of the Villa Straylight, which looks like an abandoned and labyrinthine library or museum, spinning in orbit around the Earth. At one point, Molly passes by the shattered glass pane of Marcel Duchamp’s master Leggi tutto
“The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel.” Reminding me of both hard-boiled detective novels in the style of Dashiell Hammett and the cyber punk genre it spawned (yeah, it definitely reminded me of the 'Matrix' movies), though groundbreaking when it was published i Leggi tutto
