Neuromancer, a cyberpunk novel written by William Gibson, is one of those classics that had lost its novelty over the years. I didn't find it special, having already been exposed to all the works that were influenced by it; it was just more stuff I was already familiar with. I think I was kind of blind to all the words and concepts Gibson may have invented too. I have to trust the word of others that this fabled, the sole Nebula, Philip K. Dick, and Hugo Award triple winner was that remarkable at the time of its publishing.
