Christophers intro to Neuromancer and Cyberpunk

Neuromancer

This is a book by William Gibson. I am beginning to read, well listen to it for my English 100 class. I have no idea what to expect from this book but from listening to the authors introduction, which is being narrated by Robertson Dean, Mr Gibson didn't expect for this book to still be hitting bookshelves 35 years later.

So naturally, the first thing I was thinking... "Oh snap! Video games"... but no quite. What it's really all about is a genre of science fiction centered around technology. This genre was "named" by Bruce Bethke. The roots of the word derives from cybernetics and punk. The first, maybe second thought that enters your mind is exactly the exact thought you should have of the genre itself.
