Neuromancer

Editorial review

Case, a washed-up data thief in a near-future Japan, is hired by a mysterious figure to pull off the impossible job: a heist inside cyberspace that will free a fragmentary AI from its constraints. The novel's plot is famously disorienting and famously worth the disorientation.
