"Der Himmel über dem Hafen hatte die Farbe eines Fernsehers, der auf einen toten Kanal geschaltet war." Mit der Neuromancer-Trilogie hat William Gibson die Science Fiction revolutioniert. Sein Debütroman "Neuromancer" gewann den Hugo-, den Nebula- und den Philip-K.-Dick-Award, die drei wichtigsten Preise des Genres. Zudem hat er nicht nur die Begriffe Matrix und Cyberspace geprägt, er hat ein ganzes Genre begründet: Cyberpunk. Das Netz ist allgegenwärtig, der Cyberspace zu einer zweiten Realität geworden, bestimmt von KIs und hart umkämpft von riesigen Firmenkomplexen, Hackern und Kriminellen.

La visione di Philip K. Dick di una possibile forma di vita extraterrestre intelligente, capace di influenzare l'esistenza degli umani. "Un giorno, i ricordi del piccolo sarebbero tornati. Qualcosa, uno stimolo disinibitore attivato dai preparativi del bambino stesso, avrebbe rimosso quel buio, avrebbe cancellato l'amnesia, e tutti i ricordi sarebbero rifluiti: il suo concepimento su cY30-cY3OB, il periodo nel grembo di Rybys mentre lei lottava con l'orribile malattia, in viaggio verso la Terra, forse persino l'interrogatorio.

Mentre la Terra è sempre più depauperata di risorse e sfiancata da guerre, la nave spaziale Dormire trasporta nel paradiso incontaminato di Artemis, un pianeta nel sistema stellare Tau Ceti, migliaia di esseri umani addormentati.

Ma qualcosa va storto: i sei membri dell'equipaggio, tutti ex criminali che sperano di ripulire il proprio passato e ricominciare una nuova vita.

Precorrendo i motivi cari al cyberpunk, Philip K. Dick affonda la penna nei temi della decadenza, delle fantasie cosmiche e delle inquietudini interiori che attanagliano l'uomo moderno. Chi o cos'è Valis? È un'imperscrutabile entità intelligente che vive nello spazio? O forse un meccanismo, una formula o, ancora, un essere vivente vero e proprio, che emana uno sconvolgente flusso di informazioni sulla natura dell'universo?
