William Gibson: Neuromancer (EBook, 2022, Penguin Random House)

Winner of the Hugo, Nebula, and Philip K. Dick Awards, Neuromancer is a science fiction …

it's easier to bear if i think of it as some overwrought college writing major writing up the adventures of his first shadowrun charachter.

... damnit, now I'm thinking about the character's stats. I must not pull out the character sheets, I must not pull out the character sheets, I must not pull out the character sheets....

i cut my teeth on old guard hard sci fi (thanks to my dads old book collection and subscriptions to Analog and Asimov's)

but i think this is my first "real" cyberpunk. so i guess good to start with to OG. but MAN 30 minutes in and it's a bit difficult to follow thanks to the overwrought almost noir like floral language and verbosity. i suppose i shouldn't be surprised given the time but geeze.
