A burned-out console cowboy named Case is hired by a shadowy ex-military officer to pull off the ultimate hack – merging two AIs into a superintelligence. Gibson’s debut novel defined the cyberpunk genre and gave us the word “cyberspace.”

Review

Yeah, I was late to a classic, so what. Great book, you should read it, shockingly relevant and the basis for the Cyberpunk genre as we know it. Not a 10 out of 10, because I really struggle with Gibson’s writing style.
