I've read 19 of the 20, (Neil Stephenson is the odd book out) and have met 14 of the authors. This list is more congruent with my personal top 20 than most such attempts I've seen.
My personal feeling is that Neuromancer should not be considered stand alone: it needs to be evaluated as part of the "Sprawl" series, with _Count Zero_ and Mona Lisa Overdrive_.
What didn't you like about Neuromancer? I don't consider it fully successful, but was impressed when I realized what was being communicated by what was
not said.
