ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Neuromancer

Neuromancer is a book that talks about a world where humans can connect their brains to computers. Imagine having a special device that can let you control your computer with your thoughts. That is what is happening in Neuromancer.

Now, let's say there is a person who has a disability and can't walk. With this device, they can control a robot and walk around. They don't even have to move their physical body! It's like a magic wand that makes things happen.

But there's a catch. In Neuromancer, some people use this technology in illegal ways, like stealing sensitive information from people's minds or even controlling people's thoughts against their will. It's like someone sneaking into your mind and taking your secrets.

That's where the main character, a "hacker" named Case comes in. He's someone who can break into these sneaky minds and steal information back. It's like he's a spy, but inside your brain!

So, basically, Neuromancer is a book about a world where people can control computers with their minds, and some people use this technology for bad things. Our hero, Case, tries to stop them by being a hacker and sneaking into their minds to find out what they're up to.
