I've read it, at least twice that I can recall, shortly after it was first published and then again last year. It didn't have the same impact last year that I recall from my first reading however developments in society, many of them anticipated in Neuromancer, over the last few decades have diluted that impact but to me it is still a seminal novel.
I think the best way to describe it could actually be plagiarized from the OP's title -"Miles away from ordinary."
