Neuromancer is great so far, I have barely taken a bite out of The Art of Dreaming (I will read a bit more today), and The Art and Practice of Geomancy is surprisingly approachable for the subject matter covered.

The Matrix soooo ripped-off (paid homage to?)
Neuromancer for its source material.
The character, Trinity, is almost a carbon-copy of Molly, not to mention that the virtual reality version of the internet in the story is called 'the matrix'...
If you like
Neuromancer go ahead and read
Count Zero (not quite as good) and
Mona Lisa Overdrive (my favorite of the series) - you won't be disappointed...
