Neuromancer (1984) basically invented cyberpunk.
It didn’t come first, though. it arrived in parallel with Blade Runner (1982) and the Akira manga (1982), all pulling from the same well of ideas at the same time.
Gibson himself feared he’d look derivative of Blade Runner, only to realize later that he and Ridley Scott had both been steeped in Moebius’s art.
From this came literally everything: Ghost in the Shell, The Matrix, and now this.
