Gibson’s Neuromancer was his debut novel and a cornerstone of the cyberpunk genre. The book earned several prestigious awards, including the Hugo, Nebula, and Philip K. Dick Awards, and inspired two sequels, Count Zero and Mona Lisa Overdrive. While there have been multiple attempts to adapt the novel into a film, none have been successful until now.
