Neuromancer
Gibson is an original and a master. He is as tuned into the zeitgeist as he is curious. The locations in his novels are as much characters and the citizens who inhabits them. With just enough explaination, he tooks his readers through neo-Tokyo, black market surgeries, criminal undergrounds, a cyber war, and someplace they had never been, Cyberspace.

I agree, his writing comes close to confusing you but yet it never does, somehow it all intuitively makes sense.
I am really enjoying it.
First comment :P
Cool beans...master of disaster.
Yeah, I kind of wonder what kind of world would be created if they did to Case's consciousness what technology did to change cyberspace into the matrix. I notice some people commenting on how Case seems to go back to the way things were before except he can jack in again, but that by itself changes everything. During the time in the beginning when he was crippled he was on a self-destructive path because of it, but being able to return to the matrix made his life worth living again. Besides, we don't know what he does after tossing his shuriken in the end, so for all we know he might've changed more after all.
