This book explores a lot of interesting concepts in a well thought out cyberpunk future. It is very obvious why this is an important landmark in science fiction history. The art and character design were both excellent as well. However, the plot is fully incomprehensible. Any time I started to get a handle on what was happening, the story would take a sharp left into complete nonsense. This was frustrating and made it hard to finish. I don’t think this was worth the time and brain cells I lost trying to understand it.
