Mr. Slippery. I always wish I could read Neuromancer for the first time again, because nothing before or since has given me the rush that it did. What I did come across, recently, was True Names: And The Opening of the Cyberspace Frontier. It's a combination of Vernor Vinge's True Names, which was published in 1981 and presaged Neuromancer, and a collection of mid-90's essays on crypto, identity, digital rights management, and related themes. ...

Yes, yes on both. Neuromancer was a ground-breaker. The world of SF was not the same afterwards. And True Names was a true visionary work. In the edition, you describe, the are some fascinating essays. Highly recomended.
