Apparently it is Neuromancer’s 24th birthday today! Above is a selection of the cover renditions over the years. If you haven’t done so already (cult classic, much?), check it out – it’s a great read, along with William Gibson’s other books. My favourite is probably Pattern Recognition, due to the rampant brand and Internet references.
According to IMDB, Neuromancer the movie is in production for release in 2009. Will it surpass Blade Runner or the Matrix? Here’s hoping!

Why have I never heard of this?
You haven’t? Oh, you should definitely pick this up (or another of his other books) to read on your travels. It’s the birth of cyberpunk. Gibson has a writing style I think you’d enjoy, really dripping with adjectives.
