Problem
Consider the Neuromancer in the frame of a genre analysis. What is this story doing in terms of a particular genre (cyberpunk, utopia, sci-fi)? Why does it matter that they are written as genre pieces? Furthermore, Why does it matter that they are written as genre pieces, and what can they do because of their quality as genre and not "serious" literature? Is that division really fair at all, or should we rethink the way we understand genre?
