商品描述
William Gibson's Neuromancer: A Critical Companion presents Gibson's rise as an influential figure within and beyond the science fiction field. Gibson's success with Neuromancer, the first novel to win the Hugo Award, Nebula Award, and Philip K. Dick Award, is in part a direct result of the rising popularity of cyberpunk in the early- to mid-1980s, although it could just as easily be said cyberpunk's success was in no small part a direct result of Neuromancer's explosion onto the science fiction scene.
Neuromancer's ongoing relevance remains undiminished because we are effectively living in a technocultural age that is increasingly difficult to distinguish from Gibson's novel. As Graham J. Murphy demonstrates in this companion, the novel remains instrumental in thinking through the ongoing explorations of the posthuman: transhumanism, the Utopia/Anti-Utopia dynamic, and capitalist realism, to name a few of themore significant critical vehicles with which to better understand and contextualize our technocultural age and Neuromancer's role in both shaping it and responding to it. This book provides a critical introduction to Neuromancer and cyberpunk culture.商品描述(中文翻譯)
《威廉·吉布森（William Gibson）的神經漫遊者（Neuromancer）：批判伴侶（A Critical Companion）》展示了吉布森在科幻領域內外作為一位影響力人物的崛起。吉布森的成功，尤其是《神經漫遊者》這部獲得雨果獎（Hugo Award）、星雲獎（Nebula Award）和菲利普·K·迪克獎（Philip K. Dick Award）的首部小說，部分是由於1980年代早期至中期網路朋克（cyberpunk）日益增長的受歡迎程度，儘管同樣可以說，網路朋克的成功在很大程度上也是因為《神經漫遊者》在科幻界的爆炸性登場。
《神經漫遊者》的持續相關性並未減弱，因為我們實際上生活在一個技術文化時代，這個時代越來越難以與吉布森的小說區分開來。正如格雷厄姆·J·墨菲（Graham J. Murphy）在這本伴侶書中所展示的，這部小說在思考後人類（posthuman）持續探索方面仍然具有重要意義：超人類主義（transhumanism）、烏托邦/反烏托邦（Utopia/Anti-Utopia）動態，以及資本主義現實主義（capitalist realism），這些都是幫助我們更好理解和詮釋我們的技術文化時代及《神經漫遊者》在塑造和回應這一時代中的角色的重要批判工具。本書提供了對《神經漫遊者》和網路朋克文化的批判性介紹。
