Neal Stephenson is a blazing new force on the sci-fi scene. With the groundbreaking cyberpunk novel Snow Crash, he has "vaulted onto the literary stage." It weaves virtual reality, Sumerian myth, and just about everything in between with a cool, hip cybersensibility - in short, it is the gigathriller of the information age.

Histoire
The Difference Engine is an alternate history novel by William Gibson and Bruce Sterling. It is a prime example of the steampunk sub-genre; It posits a Victorian Britain in which great technological and social change has occurred after entrepreneurial inventor Charles Babbage succeeded in his ambition to build a mechanical computer called Engines. The fierce summer heat and pollution have driven the ruling class out of London and the resulting anarchy allows technology-hating Luddites to challenge the intellectual elite.

In the 25th century, humankind has spread throughout the galaxy, monitored by the watchful eye of the U.N. While divisions in race, religion, and class still exist, advances in technology have redefined life itself. Now, assuming one can afford the expensive procedure, a person's consciousness can be stored in a cortical stack at the base of the brain and easily downloaded into a new body (or "sleeve") making death nothing more than a minor blip on a screen.

Description
Twenty years ago, it was as if someone turned on a light. The future blazed into existence with each deliberate word that William Gibson laid down. The winner of Hugo, Nebula, and Philip K. Dick Awards, Neuromancer didn't just explode onto the science fiction scene - it permeated into the collective consciousness, culture, science, and technology.Today, there is only one science fiction masterpiece to thank for the term "cyberpunk," for easing the way into the information age and Internet society. Neuromancer's virtual reality has become real. And yet, William Gibson's gritty, sophisticated vision still manages to inspire the minds that lead mankind ever further into the future.
Ce que les critiques en disent
"Unforgettable ... The richness of Gibson’s world is incredible.” (Chicago Sun-Times)
“Freshly imagined, compellingly detailed, and chilling in its implications.” (The New York Times)
"Serious science fiction and fantasy readers cannot resist the classics.... That’s what makes the Penguin Galaxy series so appealing.... Each of the novels here has earned their place in the halls of literary history.... Their small form factor and minimalist covers call out to readers and make them fun to read all over again.” (Kirkus Reviews)

Narration was dreadful, book was excellent.
The narrator's voice was far far too monotone. There were times when I found myself not absorbing a single word he said for twenty minutes straight.
The book itself is a stone cold classic, but if you can find a version with a different narrator, get that one instead.

Not a fan of this narrator. I found his voice dry and rather boring to listen to. Not everyone will agree, but that's me. Great story, maybe I will try again with another narrator.

Book > Narration
This isn’t an entirely “fresh” review, since I once read part of Neuromancer in text format off of the Internet. I never finished it, though, because the site went offline. I mention this because the existence of the Internet, and even some of its nature, was partially dreamed up by Gibson in the form of “cyberspace”. We still use this word of his and another he coined for it, “the matrix”, when we talk about the technology that connects us all together. It is always changing, losing parts and gaining parts, without respect for what it used to be, just like in the novel.
Upon listening to Dean read the book, I was struck by how little I remembered from my first partial read. It all seemed new to me, even though the concepts have surrounded me in all sorts of media for most of my life. Gibson’s semi-apologetic forward was cute (imagine feeling bad for not predicting the ubiquitousness of mobile phones) and contained enough humility to pardon any perceived sin of birthing the difficult-to-define genre of cyberpunk.
The book was groundbreaking, and its “newness” comes through even now, forty years after it was first published. Besides the very idea of cyberspace, the tone is different than most science fiction that preceded it: nasty, almost pornographic, and with a distinct lack of hope that innovation will save us all. At the same time, it harkens back to earlier times. Certainly, a debt to the hard-boiled detective fiction of the early twentieth century is owed. It reaches back even further, though, when you dissect the passage in which the titular AI explains the origin of his name. Besides the potent power words of “neuron” and “necromancer”, we also see “new romancer”.
There was a “New Romantic” movement in art in the seventies and eighties that is mostly remembered for a few pop music purveyors like Ultravox and Japan, but the original Romantic movement of the nineteenth century was also harkening back, somewhat longingly, to the medieval, a time before the Renaissance when progress was not expected and life was to be faced as it was, not as it might be.
This seems to be the attitude of the book’s protagonist, Case, who enters the stage as a failure, a man formerly of great talent but who must now wrestle for scraps with the vermin of the underworld. He expects nothing better, which makes him an easy mark when hope is suddenly thrust in front of him. It seems too good to be true, and it is. He doesn’t trust this hope, but he has nothing better going on and falls into one confusing situation after another. Like a medieval peasant confronted with demons and ghosts, he doesn’t bother to disbelieve, but interacts with artificial intelligences and the recreated psyches of a dead mentor and lover as if they were real. For all intents and purposes, they are. Maybe the unseen Renaissance is on the horizon in the form of AI, but no one can be expected to see it.
Yes, the book is great, as advertised, but what about the narration? I will admit that although Dean’s slow reading made it easy to catch every word, it was a little monotonous in timbre, making it easy for the reader to lose focus on it. Although he admirably dipped into accents for some characters, they nearly always spoke slowly and that made them all seem a little too similar. My biggest gripe is that Maelcum’s accent changed over the course of the book from a subtly melodic Caribbean when he is first encountered to a dull, almost Tonto-like, grunt. I can make up excuses for these faults (Maelcum’s original accent was a put-on that slips when it is no longer important, the monotonous narrative is what you would expect from a speed-freak who can no longer indulge), but it doesn’t really wash. The reader needs to engage the listener, as well as serve the story and its characters. It’s a tough gig and this one loses points in the engagement category. If other listeners felt the same way, it may explain why the sequels in the Sprawl Trilogy never got an audiobook treatment.

Fantastic Story dragged down by poor choice of narrator
The story is a classic. The narrator was an incredibly poor choice. He is clear, articulate and wholly unsuited to reading in character in my opinion. I felt the female characters in particular were really poorly read.

I know the problems are with me. The narrator drones on and on…the story is difficult to follow and assumes you understand settings that seem to skip around mid sentence. I really want to like this book but gave up about 3 hours in.

Enter the Matrix!
Narrator was a little monotone. Story jumped around in a cool way, like a cyber-hallucination. Noir cop story. Lots of elements that were later used in the Matrix series.

A fun ride that's held up shockingly well
It's surprisingly easy, between the crisp and well produced 2011 recording and narrative structure that feels quite in line with modern storytelling, that Neuromancer is a novel written in 1984 on a typewriter, in a world where 'cyberpunk' wasn't even a fully formed idea yet.
Neuromancer is, at its heart, a heist/mystery novel with a fine coat of science fiction paint. The characters, of which there are many, all have distinct voices and consistent personalities, a tricky feat that most heist novels have a hard time sticking the landing on with their generally large casts.
Additionally, the core mystery, in spite of its age, and the profound genre influence of Neuromancer, is well built and, at many points, will keep the reader guessing.
Even setting aside the cultural significance of the novel, this one is a great listen in its own right. To top it off, Robertson Dean's silky smooth baritone will carry you through the whole thing, putting in a performance that is oftentimes oddly relaxing.
Definitely give this one a look if you're a fan of sci fi or heists.
