    Neuromancer Chapters 1-2

    Send us a message William Gibson’s cyberpunk classic, Neuromancer, drops us right into the action in the neon grime of Chiba City.  Read along with us to find out why the book still feels like the blueprint for hackers, body modification, and the idea of cyberspace itself.  Along the way we talk about the noir tone, and the genre’s core promise: high tech wrapped around low society.
