This book is THE Cyberpunk reference. But beware, that does not mean it will be an exciting book for everyone and certainly not accessible to everyone. Most scenes are even sometimes downright incomprehensible.
Yet it is such an innovation that will be one of the foundation stones of the cyberpunk movement. It must also admit that most of the vocabulary of the movement comes from this novel.
