Problem
Neuromancer, by William Gibson, launched the cyberpunk movement within the science fiction literary genre. The book established the movement's enduring face and provided its true founding text. Neuromancer established the filthy setting of an environmentally damaged, alienated, dystopian society dominated by global computer networks in which characters battle "artificial intelligences, monopoly capitalism and a world culture as ethnically eclectic as it is politically apathetic and alienated," in the words of Webster's New World Dictionary of Computer Terms.
Based on your understanding of cyberpunk and your preliminary reading of the opening chapters, what is your impression of Gibson's story thus far?
