About This Item

West Bloomfield, Michigan: Phantasia Press,, 1986. Artistically inscribed copy of the most famous cyberpunk novel First US hardback edition, first printing, inscribed by the author on the title page alongside his large ink sketch of a neuron, "Wm Gibson, Atlanta '92". This Phantasia edition carries the atmospheric jacket illustration by Barclay Shaw, a frequent nominee for the Hugo Award for Best Professional Artist and recurring figure in the top ten rankings of the annual Local Poll Award for Best Artist. A landmark of modern science fiction, Neuromancer immediately defined the then-fledgling cyberpunk genre. It was first published as an Ace paperback in 1984, followed later that year by the first hardback edition, issued in London. Such is the attractiveness of the Phantasia edition that, in another inscribed copy we have handled, Gibson called it the "Deluxe" Neuromancer. This copy is one of 1,200 from the trade issue, published simultaneously with the signed limited issue of 375 copies. Octavo. Original white cloth, spine lettered in bronze, author's initials blind-stamped on front cover, buff endpapers. With dust jacket by Barclay Shaw. Light foxing to edges of cloth and leaves, contents clean; bright, unclipped jacket with gentle vertical creases on rear panel: a near-fine copy in like jacket. Peter Harrington, sold item number 150893.

Synopsis

Neuromancer is a 1984 novel by William Gibson, notable for being the most famous early cyberpunk novel and winner of the science-fiction "triple crown"—the Nebula Award, the Philip K. Dick Award, and the Hugo Award. It was Gibson's first novel and the beginning of the Sprawl trilogy. The novel tells the story of a washed-up computer hacker hired by a mysterious employer to work on the ultimate hack.
