Another interesting article about Neuromancer

I found another interesting article about William Gibson and Neuromancer on Kirkus Reviews.   The author looks at the influence of the book and also discusses Gibson's writing process.   Here's a bit from the article, but you can click the link to read the whole thing:

It’s hard to underestimate the huge impact left by Neuromancer: The book is ripe with ideas that have influence generations of authors and directors in three decades it’s been in print. Movies such as The Matrix and Elysium and television shows such as Person of Interest have borrowed substantially from its themes, while the cyberpunk subgenre has continued to run forward as computers continue to occupy greater and greater parts of our lives. Even as it feels outdated (there are no cellphones, for example), the novel will undoubtedly continue to remain as relevant and as raw as it was in 1984.
