Summary
Narrated by actor Jason Flemyng.
The book that defined the cyberpunk movement, inspiring everything from The Matrix to Cyberpunk 2077.
The sky above the port was the colour of television, tuned to a dead channel.
William Gibson revolutionised science fiction in his 1984 debut Neuromancer. The writer who gave us the matrix and coined the term 'cyberspace' produced a first novel that won the Hugo, Nebula and Philip K. Dick Awards, and lit the fuse on the cyberpunk movement.
More than three decades later, Gibson's text is as stylish as ever, his noir narrative still glitters like chrome in the shadows and his depictions of the rise and abuse of corporate power look more prescient every day. Part thriller, part warning, Neuromancer is a timeless classic of modern SF and one of the 20th century's most potent and compelling visions of the future.

Alot to take in that lack clarity of performance
This is a very difficult book to get into when not being read from the page. Lots of niche terms and slang. The kind of book you need to re read sections and click back to check.
Books like this need a clearer delivery, the punctuation and enunciation are so important to give context and clarity. There are also a number of sloppy edits and corrections that don't help.
Jason tries very hard with some very difficult material but it took the shine of for me.

Still a masterful CyberSpace Sci-Fi classic
Good to re-visit this now, especially with the current concerns over imposing AI restrictions.

Best yet
I’ve heard the previous Neuromancer audiobooks and this one is the best yet. There’s some very questionable pronunciation of Japanese words but the overall tone is spot on. Hope Flemyng does Count Zero next!

Really good. But hard to follow
Loved the overall book. The tone and story.
But if you are going to listen to this. It can get a bit confusing towards the end.
So not something to have on as an easy listen in while doing something else.

better late than never
stunning sci fi debut that still backs a punch 34 years later. my only regret is not engaging at the time as Gibson’s work has so evidently shaped some of the greatest writers of my life.

The origin of Cyberpunk
Probably my all-time favourite book, narrated brilliantly by Jason Fleming. A masterpiece of Cyberpunk literature.
Absolutely timeless.

Great world building
Some amazing world building here, as everyone knows it’s a hugely influential book but it’s interesting hearing the original material and then thinking about all it’s done.
The story was a bit meh though. Characters were pretty simple and uninteresting, the side characters are particularly thin. This does harm the story which is fine but nothing exciting. Some parts were also quite confusing to keep up with (I think it might have been easier reading it in fairness). The narration was not very good, some of the voices were pretty cringeworthy.
