Neuromancer.

GIBSON, William.

Item Number: 87412

London: Victor Gollancz, 1984-1988.

First hardcover edition of Gibson’s first book, which went on to win the Hugo, the Nebula, and the Philip K. Dick Award. Octavo, original cloth. Signed by the author on the title page, “The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel. William Gibson.” The inscription is the opening line of this novel. Fine in a fine dust jacket. An exceptional example.

Neuromancer, the beginning of the Sprawl trilogy, was the first winner of the science-fiction "triple crown:" the Nebula Award, the Philip K. Dick Award, and the Hugo Award. Gibson coined the term "cyberspace," in this book, "described as "a three dimensional representation of computer data through which users communicate and do business, alongside a whole host of more dubious activities."
