Die Neuromancer-Trilogie

a classic of the cyberpunk genre and an excellent novel all in its own right.

short plot description: set in an undetermined dystopian future we follow the events as Case, an ex-computer-jockey down on his luck gets hired by Armitage, an ex-special-forces soldier turned mercenary with a cybernetic enhanced female body guard named Molly Millions. But who is behind Armitage and what exactly is it that Case is hired to do?

My thoughts: simply breathtaking, especially for a first novel. The world-building is incredible and believable, same goes for the characters. The plot is not as complex as they will get in later novels but serves the purpose.
And besides the obvious plot about adventures in cyberspace which has been done (mostly badly) to death since first publication of this novel we get (to borrow from Bruce Sterling) the mix of "low life and high tech" which would become so typical of Gibson's later work.
The "high tech" is here quite dominant (cyberspace, personality constructs, cybernetic enhancements) but an important and I think often overlooked part are the characters and their relations to each other and the world they have to live in. The back stories of Case and Molly are well developed and essential to our understanding of their motivations and actions.

Minor gripes: parts of the background feel dated (japanese mega-companies dominating the global economy) and some parts feel cliche (though probably weren't at the time).

My advice: for anyone who likes well written science-fiction.
