The Matrix is a world
within the world, a global consensus- hallucination, the representation
of every byte of data in cyberspace . . . Case had been the sharpest
data-thief in the business, until vengeful former employees crippled
his nervous system. But now a new and very mysterious employer recruits
him for a last-chance run. The target: an unthinkably powerful
artificial intelligence orbiting Earth in service of the sinister
Tessier-Ashpool business clan. With a dead man riding shotgun and Molly,
mirror-eyed street-samurai, to watch his back, Case embarks on an
adventure that ups the ante on an entire genre of fiction. Hotwired
to the leading edges of art and technology, Neuromancer ranks with 1984
and Brave New World as one of the century's most potent visions of the
future. From Goodreads I liked this book but I won't say I enjoyed it that much. It was hard going in places with the language it was written in. Sometimes very difficult to understand and I had to reread some paragraphs in order for them to make sense. But I found it a very interesting story, artificial intelligence (AI) and man against another AI and I might at some point read the rest of this Sprawl Trilogy.
