Cover of Neuromancer, Ace edition, July 1984
It’s easy to imagine this book’s emergence a decade later, around the time Hackers was released and, thus, associate it with the music, especially electronic, of that era.
But no. Neuromancer emerged at the end of the first Reagan term. Tech had just reached the Macintosh 128K level. The GUI and mouse were newborn. One of the things that makes this book remarkable, and Gibson’s vision extraordinary, is the extrapolation from C:\ prompts, green-on-black monitors, and DOS commands to the virtual world of cyberspace that it details.
One expects The Future Sound of London and Aphex Twin, Underworld and Autechre, to soundtrack the book. But it was written at a time when Manuel Göttsching, Jean-Maurice Jarre, and The Art of Noise were big names in electronic music, alongside the New Romantic—>synthpop bands, while Blade Runner was the, perhaps “lone,” film to provide an early visual template for the imagined cyberpunk milieu.
Truly visionary.
