The Neuromancer written Style

The style of writing in general, it’s a unique way that the writer places her masterpiece in letters. They must make sure to transmit exactly what they are trying to express. There is no right or wrong, but there are techniques to follow and give you an idea.

In the Neuromancer, Gibson project the idea in a unique form. He always refers the narration in a third party, bringing every single detail of the things around the scene. He also gives a specific way to talk to each character. For example, Case use short phrases, like he doesn’t need to express feeling. In general, the hole context has slangs, must of them created by Gibson. It gets to the point of use inappropriate language, but is meant to be, without these expressions, the reader cannot fill in completely in the idea of the time and place that this is going on.
