William Gibson returns with his first novel since 2010 s" New York Times" bestselling "Zero History."
Where Flynne and her brother, Burton, live, jobs outside the drug business are rare. Fortunately, Burton has his veteran s benefits, for neural damage he suffered from implants during his time in the USMC s elite Haptic Recon force. Then one night Burton has to go out, but there s a job he s supposed to do a job Flynne didn t know he had. Beta-testing part of a new game, he tells her. The job seems to be simple: work a perimeter around the image of a tower building. Little buglike things turn up. He s supposed to get in their way, edge them back. That s all there is to it. He s offering Flynne a good price to take over for him. What she sees, though, isn t what Burton told her to expect. It might be a game, but it might also be murder."

The accolades and acclaim are endless for William Gibson's coast-to-coast bestseller. Set in the post-9/11 present, "Pattern Recognition" is the story of one woman's never-ending search for the now.

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

The Matrix is a world within the world, a global consensus-hallucination, the representation of every byte of data in cyberspace...

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.

The winner of the Hugo, Nebula, and Philip K. Dick Awards, Neuromancer was the first fully-realized glimpse of humankind’s digital future—a shocking vision that has challenged our assumptions about our technology and ourselves, reinvented the way we speak and think, and forever altered the landscape of our imaginations.

Depending on her veteran brother's benefits in a city where jobs outside the drug trade are rare, Flynne assists her brother in beta testing a video game only to uncover an elaborate murder scheme.

No futuro, existe a matrix. Uma espécie de alucinação coletiva digital na qual a humanidade se conecta para, virtualmente, saber de tudo sobre tudo. Mas há uma elite que navega por essa grande rede de informação - os cowboys. Case era um deles, até o dia em que tentou ser mais esperto do que os seus patrões. Que fritaram suas conexões com o ciberespaço, tornando-o um pária entre os seus iguais. Ele vaga pelos subúrbios de Tóquio, mais envolvido do que nunca em destruir a si próprio, até ser contatado por Molly, uma bela e perigosa mulher que, assim como ele, desconfia de tudo e de todos. Os dois acabam se envolvendo numa missão cheia de mistérios e perigos.

Esta edição comemorativa de 25 anos de "Neuromancer" conta com nova tradução de Fábio Fernandes e prefácio de William Gibson. O romance de estréia de Gibson é o primeiro volume da chamada Trilogia do Sprawl, que ainda inclui os livros "Count Zero" e "Mona Lisa Overdrive".

William Gibson continues the visionary Sprawl Trilogy that began with Neuromancer in this frighteningly probable parable of the future.

A corporate mercenary wakes in a reconstructed body, a beautiful woman by his side. Then Hosaka Corporation reactivates him, for a mission more dangerous than the one he’s recovering to get a defecting chief of R&D—and the biochip he’s perfected—out intact. But this proves to be of supreme interest to certain other parties—some of whom aren’t remotely human....

Johnny is a courier. He carries other people's memories, millions of them, downloaded into his brain... Working out of Beijing, he is hired to carry a package to the States. The hundreds of gigabytes stashed in his head are far beyond his capacity, but as long as he gets downloaded quickly they won't do him any permanent harm...

But headaches are the least of Johnny's problems. The Americans aren't the only ones who want the data. The Yakuza are after Johnny too. Not all of him, though. All they need is his cryogenically frozen head...

In Johnny Mnemonic , the science-fiction guru of our age brings his acid-drenched tale of the near future to the screen for the first time. Containing William Gibson's original short story, his full script and exclusive stills from the film, this classic of the cyberpunk era expresses the unique vision of the author who was the first to see his way into tomorrow...

“Despídete de todos los futuros rancios. He aquí un mundo enteramente nuevo, intenso como una sacudida eléctrica. La prosa de William Gibson, asombrosa por su claridad y oficio, se convierte en poesía eléctrico-tecnológica… Una fascinante historia de aventuras, brillante y coherente como un láser.” – Bruce Sterling

“Los cyberpunks son para los ochenta lo que los Beats fueron para los cincuenta y los hippies para los sesenta… Gibson no sólo nos ha dado una sociología y una cultura para el siglo veintiuno sino también una teología… Pero Gibson no ha inventado estos temas; están justo ahí fuera, como nubes de lluvia. Y Gibson es el meteorólogo.” — Timithy Leary

“Caleidoscópico, picaresco, relumbrante y decadente. La asombrosa ejecución de un virtuoso. ¡Lo mejor de lo más nuevo!” – Washington Post

“William Gibson cuya primera novela, Neuromante, puede llamarse la novela cyberpunk, es la llama más refulgente del movimiento. Épica en escala, Neuromante mezcla alta tecnología con una sensibilidad de cine negro, una especie de Hammett que escribe la Odisea valiéndose de microchips.” – Dana Andrew Jennings, The Wall Street Journal.

Case was the sharpest data thief in the Matrix, until an ex-employer crippled his nervous system.

Now a new employer has recruited him for a last-chance run against an unthinkably powerful artificial intelligence.

Case is ready – for the silicon-quick, bleakly prophetic adventure that upped the ante on an entire genre of fiction. . .

A corporate mercenary wakes in a reconstructed body, a beautiful woman by his side. Then Hosaka Corporation reactivates him, for a mission more dangerous than the one he's recovering from: to get a defecting chief of R&D-and the biochip he's perfected-out intact. But this proves to be of supreme interest to certain other parties-some of whom aren't remotely human.

The sky above the port was the color 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.
