Reading this book is like undoing what has happened in the last few years. The word cyberspace did not even exist before Gibson invented it. And we still haven't seen all of it yet. It's not just a matter of technology, it's a matter of the expansion of consciousness and the expansion of consciousness beyond the boundaries of the human being. Not necessarily a good thing. When you read this novel, I think it allows you to get into the idea and to start to think about the world and about technology in a different way.
