Gibson neuromancer5/23/2023 They crippled his nervous system and essentially banished him from practising his illegal career. Case was the best of the best, capable of navigating cyberspace like few others could ever dream… until a job led him to crossing the wrong people.

The cyberpunk genre, most notably, has spread through all facets of the modern entertainment industry, but it can trace its roots all the way back to 1984, when William Gibson published Neuromancer, the first entry in the Sprawl Trilogy. The alarmingly growing rate of technological development has invariably popularized fiction which touches on the topic of the dark alleyways it could lead humanity down. |
