Neuromancer

Neuromancer is another one of those novels that I didn't appreciate fully the first time I read it. While I clearly remember the ideas and characters being fascinating, I had a hard time deciphering the dense technical language and computer slang that colored most of the dialogue. Maybe it's the fact that I'm not much of a computer hacker myself (just a lowly humanities loving English-major), but the fact that a lot of the novel takes place in the nebulous realm of "Cyberspace" (a term coined by Gibson himself) made it difficult for me picture the action that was being described. But regardless of my inability to "break the code" of the novel, I still recommend it for anyone who likes their science fiction gritty, dystopic and seeped in the culture and conventions of computer hacking.
