Neuromancer

Sprawl Trilogy preface:

Unfortunately, this is mostly going to be a ramble. [The next two posts as well.] Also, it is a book I recently read, but not immediately in the past.

What I like most about this book, and the series, is the character development.

 

Neuromancer:

The entire book is experienced through the eyes of Case. All information is what comes to him, what his inner monologue discloses about the world, and so on. Perhaps my favorite part of the book is that the story is about a dramatic change for the world, one that may have great repercussions for everyone alive, and yet most people would not notice for years, if ever.

Just as easily, the event could not happen. That result may be more or less desirable for Case, but who knows.

This book also contains Molly, the razor girl. You only know what case knows about her. Molly appears in the third book as well, again, the story is never told through her eyes, only those who interact with her.

On another note, this book coined the term Cyberspace and is responsible for much of the model of what the internet is today. Also, this is one of the greatest Cyberpunk books ever written.
