The CD set is ISBN 1-57042-156-0. There are two available on ebay, one at ~$2,500 USD and the other (in worse shape) for $450. I think the mp3 might have to do for now. :) Thanks for sharing.

You're very welcome! Please pass it along.

I managed to snag a set of the CD's. I'll post the FLAC files once they arrive and I can rip them.

I listened to Neuromancer on a long drive one time, and I will say that it's a wonderful book but not one that's particularly suited to the audiobook medium. It's hard to follow at times because it avoids a lot of big picture narrative and instead focuses on very small scale scenes of events happening within a broader story. It means that it can be confusing at times, as you are often as in the dark as the characters…

I thought it was just me. I gave up on reading the book midway,because I was confused most of the time, and found it hard to engage.

It happened to me too, and I read a lot.

YES!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!

Not sure if anyone will see this - but I ripped the CD's at level 5 flac. Hopefully the share works. I haven't used limewire.com for this before.

Normally I wouldn't do this, but there's no way other reasonable way to acquire them now.
