Wow, this was a journey. Half the words I didn’t understand, as they were made up techno-jargon, but the world eventually showed me everything it refused to outright tell me. Crazy book, more action packed than I expected from old sci-fi

This may be the seminal book of the cyberpunk genre, but it did not connect with me. The descriptions of the experience of being "in the matrix" were thin. Perhaps I read this 30 years too late.

That was a pretty wild story. I wanted to read it years ago and finally did. A good read, but not quite sure what to make of it
