Klappentext
William Gibson s Neuromancer: A Critical Companion presents Gibson s rise as an influential figure within and beyond the science fiction field. Gibson s success with Neuromancer, the first novel to win the Hugo Award, Nebula Award, and Philip K. Dick Award, is in part a direct result of the rising popularity of cyberpunk in the early- to mid-1980s, although it could just as easily be said cyberpunk s success was in no small part a direct result of Neuromancer s explosion onto the science fiction scene.Neuromancer s ongoing relevance remains undiminished because we are effectively living in a technocultural age that is increasingly difficult to distinguish from Gibson s novel. As Graham J. Murphy demonstrates in this companion, the novel remains instrumental in thinking through the ongoing explorations of the posthuman: transhumanism, the Utopia / Anti-Utopia dynamic, and capitalist realism, to name a few of themore significant critical vehicles with which to better understand and contextualize our technocultural age and Neuromancer s role in both shaping it and responding to it. This book provides a critical introduction to Neuromancer and cyberpunk culture.
