OK so it's not the WHOLE book, but rather a dramatisation based on the book, and acted out old-old-old-old-school radio style. I didn't even know it existed, but thanks to the wonder of the internet, I read about it on another site this morning, clicked over and alas, the direct download was gone due to bandwidth constrictions. There was a torrent file there though. Im currently downloading it and will give it a listen this weekend.

For those of you who don't know, Neuromancer is a book by William Gibson (who also happens to live in Vancouver) sometimes called “The Godfather of Cyberpunk” and the guy who's credited with coining the terms 'cyberpunk' 'The Matrix' and had visions of what the future would be like (that were pretty close to what's turned out so far) while being (reportedly) a bit of a cyber-luddite himself.

So click over to the page and download it. If you like it, consider reading the whole book. It's actually book one of a trilogy, along with Count Zero and Mona Lisa Overdrive.

UPDATE: The torrent at the site I linked to is down. It was removed at the request of the BBC by the site's owner.
