Cached US #KindleBookGiveaway: 10 copies of Neuromancer (Sprawl Trilogy Book 1), by @greatdismal.bsky.social, which I *have read* and *did enjoy*, and it *is* a classic. Also, amusingly, I'm rewatching Cloak & Dagger S1 right now, so this fits...

"The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel" opened "Neuromancer", William Gibson (1984). The "color" is different depending on when you read it.

The classic novel by #Canada’s sci-fi master William Gibson - that shaped modern cyberpunk - is coming to Apple+TV… soon

“Long considered unfilmable, #Neuromancer follows washed-up hacker Case as he's pulled into a dangerous digital heist that blurs the line between reality and cyberspace.

It may have hit shelves 40 years ago, but it’s the story that helped invent #cyberpunk as audiences know it today.”
