helps prepare us for the future. Many technologies and resulting cultural accommodations
get valuable pre-thinking. Events and products envisioned in early sf books
seem commonplace today.
Neuromancer performs this service for the computer age. We all know how rapidly computer technology develops but have difficulty imagining how far it may go and what resulting implications we may face. When technology develops faster than our understanding of the consequences, dangers loom.
Gibson wraps our thinking around these issues with breath-taking, super-exciting pace. Brain implants accept crystal jacks into a cyberspace matrix that projects "disembodied consciousness into the consensual hallucination".
Fascination doesn't waver as imagination-stretching explorations pour out in quick succession. An important book highly recommended!
