Summary
Narrated by actor Jason Flemyng.
The book that defined the cyberpunk movement, inspiring everything from The Matrix to Cyberpunk 2077.
The sky above the port was the colour of television, tuned to a dead channel.
William Gibson revolutionised science fiction in his 1984 debut Neuromancer. The writer who gave us the matrix and coined the term 'cyberspace' produced a first novel that won the Hugo, Nebula and Philip K. Dick Awards, and lit the fuse on the cyberpunk movement.
More than three decades later, Gibson's text is as stylish as ever, his noir narrative still glitters like chrome in the shadows and his depictions of the rise and abuse of corporate power look more prescient every day. Part thriller, part warning, Neuromancer is a timeless classic of modern SF and one of the 20th century's most potent and compelling visions of the future.

Really good. But hard to follow
Loved the overall book. The tone and story.
But if you are going to listen to this. It can get a bit confusing towards the end.
So not something to have on as an easy listen in while doing something else.

better late than never
stunning sci fi debut that still backs a punch 34 years later. my only regret is not engaging at the time as Gibson’s work has so evidently shaped some of the greatest writers of my life.

Great book, good pacing but...
lots of voice-over clips towards the end and throughout. Otherwise this book had me thoroughly enjoying myself.

The origin of Cyberpunk
Probably my all-time favourite book, narrated brilliantly by Jason Fleming. A masterpiece of Cyberpunk literature.
Absolutely timeless.

I am still not quite sure what to think
Part of me enjoyed and loved the book, the other part was quite confused about what was actually going on.

Dazzling but opaque, with hammy narration
William Gibson's techolust fever dream is creatively novel as it is near impenetrable. At times you wish his obsession with descriptive writing was as equally applied to his story beats. This is not an easy listen. But worth a go, particularly if you're a fan of the genre.
Narration overall is OK, but the awful US and Jamaican accents are as distracting as they as regrettable. A more judicious editor would have had a quiet word and advised against it.

Great book. reader not so much
performance started lacking in second half. microphone picking up outside conversations. isolate the reading booth better. it started getting very distracting by the end. low rumble speaking overlapping the reader.

Easily the best audiobook version
I've tried to get into this as an audiobook previously and it just didn't work. Flemyng's narration is spot on and made this an easy listen, engaging, and well presented.
I really hope he's doing the other books in the series too

Can't follow it
It's a complete mess. So hard to know what is going on, feels like characters have multiple names, people pop from nowhere with no explanation. Narrator is far too fast and not distinct enough in transitions. Generally feels like it needed 20% more content to ground you and explain what was going on and for the narrator to be clearer.
