To be honest I was expecting something completely different when I set out to read Neuromancer. I was expecting a cyber-punk book but I think this was more of a sci-fi book with a lot of references to computers. I was expecting hackers, but I think William Gibson did a good job imagining hackers of the future. I was expecting outdated technology and while there was a small amount in the book, it was still very futuristic. This is the second Williiam Gibson book I’ve read (the other being The Difference Machine) and I kind of feel like his books can become confusing and can leave the reader with an uncertainty of what is actually happening. While Gibson is a very engaging writer about from my beef with complexity, I think this book left me wanting something different. I really think if I read this book in the 80’s it would of been a different story.
