Neuromancer is a book within the science fiction genre, which was written by William Gibson and first published in 1984.

It is often cited as a foundational work in the cyberpunk genre, a setting with high technology, and a focus on cybernetic, dystopian futures.

The novel tells the story of Case, a washed-up computer hacker who is hired by a mysterious employer to pull off the ultimate hack. Set in a future where the line between technology and humanity is increasingly blurred, Case is drawn into a complex world of cybernetics, artificial intelligence, and virtual reality.

Neuromancer was distinct for its vision of the internet before the widespread use of the World Wide Web, describing a networked, virtual reality space that has since become a common trope in science fiction.
