Yeah, definitely.
Neuromancer is (IMHO) a fantastic book, with the particular, dystopian view of the future and the Net which created the bases for the whole cyberpunk genre. It also won both the Hugo (1984) and the Nebula (1985).
Burning Chrome is a collection of short stories. The most well-known is Johnny Mnemonic, which inspired the movie with Keanu Reeves.
The rest of Gibson's production is (again, IMHO) of a somewhat lesser readability, increasingly convoluted and much less enjoyable.
