I’ve recently come across a SF novel by the name of “Neuromancer”. Maybe some of you have heard about it, or maybe not. The point is that if you are into SF and you like technology/computers, then this is a “must read” book!

For example: the world envisioned by William Gibson looks pretty much alike the scenario in Matrix: humans can enter the cyberspace, also known as the “matrix”. And it doesn’t stop here! Cybernetic implants, stim packs, firewalls referred to as “ice” and later on “Black Ice” (ring a bell?) and much, much more.
Here is a short description of what awaits you:

Neuromancer
Case was the hottest computer cowboy cruising the information superhighway–jacking his consciousness into cyberspace, soaring through tactile lattices of data and logic, rustling encoded secrets for anyone with the money to buy his skills. Then he double-crossed the wrong people, who caught up with him in a big way–and burned the talent out of his brain, micron by micron. Banished from cyberspace, trapped in the meat of his physical body, Case courted death in the high-tech underworld. Until a shadowy conspiracy offered him a second chance–and a cure–for a price….
If you are interested in getting a copy, then you can find them pretty cheap at Amazon.
Read it and tell me what you think about it. I’m always here for a discussion!

Update: Apparently there’s a movie based on the book, coming out in 2011. Check it out on imdb.
