The Vibe

Case was the best hacker in the matrix until someone fried his nervous system. A mysterious employer offers to fix him — in exchange for one last job against a powerful AI. Gibson invented cyberpunk, coined "cyberspace," and predicted the internet in 1984. The only novel to win the Hugo, Nebula, and Philip K. Dick Award simultaneously.
