Neuromancer, the debut novel of William Gibson, famously swept the science fiction Triple Crown, claiming the Nebula, Philip K. Dick, and Hugo awards. The first work to win all three prizes, Neuromancer envisioned a high tech world hip with the cynicism of the underground music scene: the cyberpunk genre was born. His new novel, Zero History, is set in the same universe as his recent near-future fantasies, the New York Times bestsellers Pattern Recognition and Spook Country.
