Neuromancer is well accepted as one of the greatest and most disturbing science fiction novels of all time. This is not simply because of outwardly disturbing imagery or scenes that scare you in the typical way, but because of the themes that it presents that more and more echo real life as the decades go on.
The term 'novum' was coined by Darko Suvin. A novum is essentially the thing in science fiction that separates the world of the science fiction novel from the world that we live in. It can be argued that the novum in Neuromancer is shrinking as time goes on and has shrunk significantly in the last four decades since the novel was released. That is to say, the world we live in has become closer to the world of Neuromancer since William Gibson originally imagined it.
Reading Neuromancer it would be easy to think that the creation of one godlike AI was the end of the story, but in truth, it may have only been the beginning of an interstellar conversation, one in which we are not participants, but bystanders.
