Tomorrow, Gollancz publishes the 40th anniversary editions of William Gibson‘s classic, beloved NEUROMANCER! Available direct from Gollancz, it’s available in two editions (one with a slipcase, one without). Here are the details, plus synopsis…

The 40th anniversary special edition hardback of Neuromancer, a science fiction novel that changed the face of the genre. Featuring a stunning dust jacket designed by Daniel Brown, a holographic foil blocked real-cloth case, two-colour printing inside the book, and 25 illustrations by Marco Luna. This incredible edition is exclusive to The Gollancz Emporium.

Henry Dorsett Case is a low-level hustler, former hack and ‘console cowboy’ who crashed and burned. His nerves were damaged and thus cut off from the digital matrix, he slouches through life.

Until he meets Molly, an augmented ‘razorgirl’, who offers him a deal on behalf of a shadowy man called Armitage. His nerves repaired and matrix access restored, in exchange for a single job. But it’s not so simple – unless he completes the job, sacs of poison will explode inside him and cripple him again.

And the job? That might be impossible.

The first novel to win the Hugo, Nebula and Philip K. Dick Awards, Neuromancer has become a seminal part of SF history, coining the term ‘cyberspace’ and lighting a fuse on the Cyberpunk movement. Part thriller, part warning, it is one of the 20th century’s most potent visions of the future.

NEUROMANCER is also available in two SF Masterworks editions — a hardcover and paperback editions. (It is also, of course, available as an eBook.)
