Review:

"Mr. Gibson's characters inhabit a bleak amoral world entirely dictated by the machinations of global corporations and organized crime. In it, the closest anyone comes to integrity is dropping out and scrounging on the margins. The outsiders Mr. Gibson chooses for his heroes--hackers, street kids, bike messengers--seldom want more than to save their own skins and be left alone afterward. It was an ethos perfectly suited to the indolent cynicism of post-60's youth culture and the have-code-will-travel individualism of the programming class."

Laura Miller, New York Times Book Review, 09/08/1996

Review:

"NEUROMANCER may not be the best-written SF novel, it may have dated massively and been ripped off shamelessly by Hollywood, but its amphetamine-fast tale...launched cyberpunk into the mainstream and still stands alone."

Jonathan Grimwood, Guardian (London), 02/09/2002
