It may have been hugely influential in its time, and has lots of interesting ideas scattered throughout, so I acknowledge it's historical relevance for SF. But its weird depiction of cyberspace, anti-virus software as virtual ice a hacker has to melt or cut through and it's opaque language that doesn't serve any purpose than to confuse the reader and bog down the flow just didn't click with me. It is a recurring issue I have with Gibson's prose (I read one of his more recent novels). Gibson's prose doesn't instill wonder in me, just confusion. Sorry.
