4.0

For a while, it was the best sci-fi I’ve ever read. Gibson’s writing has an electric momentum to it and his existential expressions of cyberspace approach poetry. After the settings were thoroughly established, I lost a little interest in reading so many action/heist movie scenes back-to-back. Regardless, it’s fascinating how many terms, ideas, and visual worlds can be traced back to this book; a religious text for cyberpunk fans or anyone who has used a computer.
