William Gibson's novel, "Neuromancer," introduces the reader to Case, a once-revered "cyberspace cowboy" now suffering from a damaged nervous system that prevents him from jacking into the matrix. He navigates a dystopian, technologically advanced world filled with "black clinics," artificial intelligences, and cybernetic modifications. The narrative follows Case as he is recruited by the mysterious Armitage and the augmented "razorgirl" Molly for a seemingly impossible mission involving the powerful Tessier-Ashpool corporate dynasty and their interconnected AIs, Wintermute and Neuromancer. As Case grapples with his past, including his relationship with Linda Lee, and faces perilous encounters, the story explores themes of humanity, artificial intelligence, and the blurred lines between reality and cyberspace, culminating in a complex scheme to merge the two AIs.
