predicted our obsession with the Internet--part of Penguin Galaxy, a
collectible series of six sci-fi/fantasy classics, featuring a series

Winner of the AIGA + Design Observer 50 Books 50 Covers competition
Before the Internet was commonplace, William Gibson showed us the
Matrix--a world within the world, the representation of every byte of
data in cyberspace. Henry Dorsett Case was the sharpest data-thief in
the Matrix, until an ex-employer crippled his nervous system. Now a new
employer has recruited him for a last-chance run against an unthinkably
powerful artificial intelligence. With a mirror-eyed girl street-samurai
riding shotgun, he's ready for the silicon-quick, bleakly prophetic
adventure that upped the ante on an entire genre of fiction.
