Editor’s Note
- James Rose, Editor
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.

‘Neuromancer has been living in my head for decades, and now its language, ideas and scenes re-emerge with ever-more relevance. It’s been a glimmering, grubby delight to try to bring them to life.’
- Anna Mill, Illustrator
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.
