About this listen
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.

Story
Set against the backdrop of China's Cultural Revolution, a secret military project sends signals into space to establish contact with aliens. An alien civilization on the brink of destruction captures the signal and plans to invade Earth. Meanwhile, on Earth, different camps start forming, planning to either welcome the superior beings and help them take over a world seen as corrupt, or to fight against the invasion. The result is a science fiction masterpiece of enormous scope and vision.

Story
Piranesi lives in the House. Perhaps he always has. In his notebooks, day after day, he makes a clear and careful record of its wonders: the labyrinth of halls, the thousands upon thousands of statues, the tides that thunder up staircases, the clouds that move in slow procession through the upper halls. On Tuesdays and Fridays Piranesi sees his friend, the Other. At other times he brings tributes of food to the Dead. But mostly, he is alone.

An all-new, full-cast dramatization of the classic graphic novel. The isolated town of Barrow, Alaska, is plunged into darkness for a month each year when the sun sinks below the horizon. As the last rays of light fade, the town is attacked by a bloodthirsty gang of vampires bent on an uninterrupted orgy of destruction. Only Barrow's husband-and-wife sheriff team stand between the survivors and certain destruction. . By the time the sun rises, will they pay the ultimate price - or worse?

A good book may have the power to change the way we see the world, but a great book actually becomes part of our daily consciousness, pervading our thinking to the point that we take it for granted, and we forget how provocative and challenging its ideas once were - and still are. The Structure of Scientific Revolutions is that kind of book.

But in a world where everyone is tripping, no promises can be taken at face value.

Listening to this 40 years after its conception makes your eyebrows raise from time to time thinking ah there Sims comes from or how did he predict this was coming about. I guess when you are connected to the one you know…

Confusing and jumps around too much for audiobook
Great sci-fi but the writing style jumps around between "realities" and characters so often you loose the thread way too often.
Probably better as physical book where you can recap or take it in at your own pace.

For all cyberpunk and Blade Runner fans
I really enjoyed listening to this book even though l rarely listen to fiction. After recently re-watching Blade Runner ( my absolute favorite film ), l decided to give fiction a chance and first listened to Phillip K. Dicks Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep ( essential for all Blade Runner fans and highly recommended ), followed by this fantastic book. I look forward to listening to this again. I will also be listening to the other two books in Gibson's Sprawl trilogy. The narration on this is perfect for the story. Nice work Jason Flemyng!

Difficult book to get through but good atmosphere
The story: I loved the cyberpunk setting, the grimy atmosphere is brilliant but I frequently found myself confused and struggling to follow that's going on. There are tons of things happening and you're presented with dermadisks here and simstims there and the book does not hold your hand very much in terms of explaining the plot. I was almost tempted to give the story three stars but I'm upgrading it to a four because I guess being dumped into a sci-fi world and left to figure it out yourself is part of the experience. Also, I bet I would get more out of it if I were to do a re-listen sometime down the line.
The narration: The narrator did an ok job, however I would have liked more variety in between the different characters. Sometimes I lost track of which character was speaking which of course might be just me and my attention span's problem. I found the narrator a little boring and dull to listen to. Also, a few times throughout the book it sounds like certain words have been overdubbed. I have no clue why that's necessary but it was distracting the few times it happened.

Great Story, a bit hard to follow at times.
by the time I got to the end I didn't know if I should have been happy or depressed. But I definitely loved the book. I look forward to listening to the Jonathan Davis narrated sequels. I loved the characters here, particularly Molly. the way the book is written is a bit hard to follow, with good reason. Gibson is describing things far ahead of his time and it shows. I would skip backward 15sec pretty frequently to get a better understanding. but I really enjoyed my time with the book. I look forward to the next one.
