no. Not going to finish or revisit. I don't like neil gaiman anymore. possibly because of his youtube masterclass ads.
Another one that I think I'll just get back to eventually. Moving it off this list for now. I should probably read some other lem? This one feels particularly weird.

Its interesting to see gibson circle back on his hit - this is very similar to neuromancer, but more grounded, and somehow set last year, or a few years ago even.

After reading a few reviews, I'm gonna change slightly - The colonialist stuff wasn't clear enough on where it stood, and since it was written by a white british guy, I'm not gonna give it the benefit of the doubt.
I still enjoyed the texture and visuals of the book, but extremely couched recommendation.
