A review by mazloum
Neuromancer by William Gibson
5.0
This novel could quite possibly be the purest distillation of cyberpunk I've ever come across, which makes me wonder how I hadn't read it thus far. Gibson's prose is unbelievably poetic, which strangely works really well with the ideas and concepts presented in the novel. The characters are all interesting, futuristicly mysterious and enthralling, and the world is as much a hero as any of the involved characters.
But I find myself always drawn back to the impeccable prose of William Gibson, that really sells you on the 'there's something going on here, and perhaps you don't understand it, and that's all right, because neither does the protagonist. We'll get there at some point.'
Somewhere amongst the neon green skyscrapers of the cyberspace, I found myself falling in love with this novel, as I'm sure you will as well.
