This month's book discussion exploring the unknown realms of fantasy, science fiction and horror will be on Neuromancer by William Gibson.

In Neuromancer, the matrix is a world within the world, a global consensus-hallucination, the representation of every byte of data in cyberspace. Here, Henry Dorsett Case was the sharpest data thief in the business, until vengeful former employees crippled his nervous system. But now a new and very mysterious employer recruits him for a last-chance run. The target: an unthinkably powerful artificial intelligence orbiting Earth in service of the sinister Tessier-Ashpool business clan. With a dead man riding shotgun and Molly, mirror-eyed street-samurai, to watch his back, Case embarks on an adventure that ups the ante on an entire genre of fiction.

Hotwired to the leading edges of art and technology, Neuromancer is a cyberpunk masterpiece—a classic that ranks with 1984 and Brave New World as one of the 20th century’s most potent visions of the future.
