William Gibson's classic Sprawl trilogy includes NEUROMANCER which stands alongside BRAVE NEW WORLD and 1984 as one of the twentieth century's most potent novels of the future. Cyberspace and virtual reality were invented within these books, changing forever the way we look at tomorrow and providing the inspiration behind the blockbuster film THE MATRIX. The Matrix: a world within a world, a graphic representation of the databanks of every computer in the human system; a consensual hallucination experienced daily by billions of legitimate users in the Sprawl alone. And by Case, computer cowboy, until his nervous system is grievously maimed by a client he double-crossed. Japanese experts in nerve splicing and microbionics have left him broke and close to dead. But at last Case has found a cure. He's going back into the system. Not for the bliss of cyberspace but to steal again, this time from the big boys, the almighty megacorps. In return, should he survive, he will stay cured. This bundle includes: NEUROMANCER, COUNT ZERO and MONA LISA OVERDRIVE No library descriptions found. |
