The matrix has its roots in primitive arcade games. … Cyberspace. A consensual hallucination experienced daily by billions of legitimate operators, in every nation, by children being taught mathematical concepts. … A graphic representation of data abstracted from banks of every computer in the human system. Unthinkable complexity. Lines of light ranged in the nonspace of the mind, clusters and constellations of data. Like city lights, receding. [20] Neuromancer is considered "the archetypal cyberpunk work". [15] and outside science fiction, it gained unprecedented critical and popular attention, [4] as an "evocation of life in the late 1980s", [16] although The Observer noted that "it took the New York Times 10 years" to mention the novel. [17] By 2007 it had sold more than 6.5 million copies worldwide. [11] Seven years after the events of Neuromancer, strange things begin to happen in the Matrix, leading to the proliferation of what appear to be voodoo gods (hinted to be the fractured remains of the joined AIs that were Neuromancer and Wintermute).
