Editor's Notes
 
It’s the book that predicted online culture before most of us had ever seen a computer screen – the groundbreaking cyberpunk novel that shaped a genre and swept the Nebula, Hugo and Philip K. Dick awards in one fell swoop. William Gibson’s Neuromancer arrives as a spectacular Folio..​

A gritty future-noir tale of a washed-up data-thief offered one last job, Neuromancer has long been one of Folio’s most requested titles – and one that demanded close collaboration with Gibson himself. The author approved every detail, including the 14 illustrations by award-winning artist and graphic novelist Anna Mill. ​

A two-part foreword featuring rare correspondence between Gibson and his original editor, legendary sci-fi publisher Malcolm Edwards, offers a fascinating glimpse into the making of a genre-defining story. ​

The result is an edition that feels as if it’s been jacked straight from the matrix – a must-have for long-time devotees and new readers alike.
Synopsis
 
It’s the founding text of the cyberpunk genre, the book that predicted online culture, and remains the only novel to have ever won the ‘triple crown’ of a Nebula, Hugo and Philip K. Dick award. William Gibson’s Neuromancer is now available in this illustrated edition, featuring a unique two-handed foreword between the book’s author and editor, legendary science fiction publisher Malcolm Edwards. Together they chart the genesis of this science fiction game-changer with never-before-seen extracts from Gibson and Edwards’ personal correspondence from 1983. The gritty future-noir tale of a burned-out data-thief offered one last shot at redemption, Neuromancer has been one of Folio’s most requested titles, and one that demanded close consultation with the author himself. William Gibson has approved every last pixel in this edition.​

About the Author

William Gibson is an enormously influential science fiction author who revitalised the genre with his pioneering cyberpunk work of the 1980s and beyond. After a childhood in the United States he became deeply immersed in the 60s counterculture and moved to Canada to avoid being drafted to Vietnam; he has lived in Vancouver for over 50 years. Gibson began writing while a mature student at the University of British Columbia and had a breakthrough with ‘Burning Chrome’, a story published in 1982 in which he coined the term ‘cyberspace’. Although best known for near-future fiction such as Neuromancer (1984, Folio 2025), Gibson has also written alternative history, more realist fiction and graphic novels. Widely regarded as a visionary or ‘noir prophet’ of the digital age, Gibson has been acclaimed both within and beyond science fiction circles, winning a number of awards including the unprecedented ‘triple crown’ – Nebula, Hugo and Philip K. Dick awards – for a single novel,  Neuromancer.
