For those of you who weren't paying attention at the time:

Back in 1983 an old acidhead named William Gibson sat down at his Hermes 3000 manual typewriter and banged out what was to become the most popular science fiction novel of that decade...

Concerning people plugging their brains directly into their computers, Gibson's novel was originally titled Jacked In.

The publishers feared this sounded too much like "jacked off", and changed the title to a more marketable Neuromancer.
