A very dense story that I struggled to get through due to an unusual writing style and a lot of unexplained terminology that you have to come to understand through context and guesswork.  I enjoyed the story for what it was however, and it's easy to see how it inspired the entire genre of Cyberpunk.  Worth a read if for no other reason than to see where it all started!
