In Neuromancer, did you enjoy ...

... the relentless pursuit of a high-stakes objective in a gritty cyberpunk world?

Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson

If you loved Case's dangerous mission to infiltrate digital realms in Neuromancer, you'll be swept up by Hiro Protagonist's quest to uncover and stop the spread of a mind-altering virus in Snow Crash. The breakneck pace, hacker underground, and pulse-pounding action deliver the same adrenaline rush of a goal-driven plot.

... protagonists who walk a moral gray line in a futuristic, noir setting?

Altered Carbon by Richard Morgan

If you found Case's questionable ethics and willingness to cross lines for survival compelling, Takeshi Kovacs in Altered Carbon will fascinate you. He's a hardened ex-soldier navigating a corrupt, high-tech society, making morally ambiguous choices that keep you guessing where his loyalties truly lie.

... vivid, intricate worldbuilding that immerses you in a strange and dangerous future?

The Windup Girl by Paolo Bacigalupi

If you were captivated by Gibson's layered Sprawl and the atmospheric details of his cybernetic world, The Windup Girl will draw you into its richly realized, bioengineered Bangkok. Bacigalupi crafts a future brimming with unique technologies, cultures, and tensions that feel as real and immersive as the world of Neuromancer.

... cutting-edge science fiction that deeply explores technology, consciousness, and alien intelligence?

Blindsight by Peter Watts

If you admired Neuromancer for its speculative technology and cerebral approach to AI and cyberspace, Blindsight offers a challenging, scientifically rigorous narrative. The novel's crew grapples with alien contact, neuroscience, and the limits of human understanding, pushing hard sci-fi to its limits.

... unexpected twists and relentless surprises that keep you guessing?

The Stars My Destination by Alfred Bester

If you enjoyed the way Neuromancer subverted expectations with plot reversals and reveals—like the true nature of Wintermute—then Gully Foyle's wild, unpredictable journey in The Stars My Destination will enthrall you. The story is packed with sharp turns, betrayals, and game-changing surprises.
