While his early writing took the form of short stories, Gibson has since written nine critically acclaimed novels (one in collaboration), contributed articles to several major publications, and has collaborated extensively with performance artists, filmmakers and musicians. William Ford Gibson is an American-Canadian writer who has been called the father of the cyberpunk subgenre of science fiction, having coined the term cyberspace in 1982 and popularized it in his first novel, Neuromancer(1984), which has sold more than 6.5 million copies worldwide. Librarian Note: There is more than one author in the Goodreads database with this name. With voodoo on the Net & a price on his head, Newmark thinks he's only trying to get out alive.Ī stylish, streetsmart, frighteningly probable parable of the future & sequel to Neuromancer. Bobby Newmark is entirely human: a rustbelt data-hustler totally unprepared for what comes his way when the defection triggers war in cyberspace.
But this proves to be of supreme interest to certain other parties - some of whom aren't remotely human. Turner is the one assigned to get him out intact, along with the biochip he's perfected.
Then Hosaka Corporation reactivates him for a mission more dangerous than the one he's recovering from: Maas-Neotek's chief of R&D is defecting. Turner, corporate mercenary, wakes in a reconstructed body, a beautiful woman by his side.
