A review by claudiadcd
Neuromancer by William Gibson
3.0
Let's be honest, this one was just outside a comfortable reading level for me, but I like pushing myself sometimes. There are obviously some great ideas in here, as can be seen by the whole genre that grew out of this novel. My fav one was the actual neuromancer but I only met him more than halfway in and saw his magic in full display once.
I feel like I wanted more visual, but for a computer hacker heist, it was pretty visual, but it was a heist, decorated with aspects we've now seen in films and video games and other books. It's a guide, but I think it birthed bigger ideas. But I'd love for the cyberpunk creators to take a bit more of his science so advanced it seems like magic. Would love a bit more of that in my scifi instead of just the grit.
