Neuromancer

william gibson alex antunes maya sangawa

No futuro, existe a matrix. Uma espécie de alucinação coletiva digital na qual a humanidade se conecta para, virtualmente, saber de tudo sobre tudo. Mas há uma elite que navega por essa grande rede de informação - os cowboys. Case era um deles, até o dia em que tentou ser mais esperto do que os seus patrões. Que fritaram suas conexões com o ciberespaço, tornando-o um pária entre os seus iguais. Ele vaga pelos subúrbios de Tóquio, mais envolvido do que nunca em destruir a si próprio, até ser contatado por Molly, uma bela e perigosa mulher que, assim como ele, desconfia de tudo e de todos. Os dois acabam se envolvendo numa missão cheia de mistérios e perigos. Esta edição comemorativa de 25 anos de 'Neuromancer' conta com nova tradução de Fábio Fernandes e prefácio de William Gibson. O romance de estréia de Gibson é o primeiro volume da chamada 'Trilogia do Sprawl', que ainda inclui os livros 'Count Zero' e 'Mona Lisa Overdrive'.
