Next were followed by two continuations, “Count Zero” and “Mona Lisa Overdrave”, which, together with the “neuromant” trilogy “Cyberspace”. The trilogy has become the cornerstone of Cyberpanus - style and cultural phenomenon.

The future here is the world of high technology and bioengineering, global computer networks and omnipotent transnational corporations, the world is cruel and merciless. Here, a virtuoso hacker and a desperate samurai girl must perform a mysterious mission programmed a decade ago in unknown depths of the artificial mind. Here, the Japanese mafia professes the ideals of the ancient Samurai Code, the virtual world is inhabited by the characters of the Voodoo pantheon, and the girl who knows how to enter the cyberspace without a computer becomes a goddess for her generation.
