I really enjoyed this at parts, Gibson's writing is great with the atmospheric way he describes the places and all the different technology that you have to learn to infer from the text. Especially within the cyberspace/matrix, it's word salad but a good way for me. The book kinda grinds your brain to mush sometimes with a plot that doesn't take it's time to hold your hand, but that's what makes it intriguing because it does have a good plot (mostly).

The characters aren't all that interesting, might've only liked two of the characters. The plot is interesting with how it's set up that when it was reaching the end it felt very anti-climantic? It wasn't a horrible ending but it seemed too abrupt for me personally.

Still worth reading though if you're into dense sci-fi that has classic cyberpunk vibes all over it.
