Liked It1 of 1 members found this review helpful “When I put a review of this on Amazon it got two negative votes, I guess from cyber punk geek types, almost immediately. Ok, I found it hard to understand the techno parts but this is so stylish and would make a great film by Ridley Scott. Is that OK ? I really liked this book, guys, and girls.” see full review » see other reviews » |
Didn’t Like It “The key to writing cyberpunk or near-future dystopian fiction? Impenetrable jargon or slang spoken by almost robotic (because it's sci-fi) characters. Let that simmer for about 200 pages until sort-of-plot begins to take shape and then finish the thing up before page 250.” see full review » see other reviews » |

“I've read this but I genuinely don't remember it. What I do remember is being disappointed that it didn't live up to Neuromancer.”

“Even more gritty than Neuromancer, a feat I wouldn't have imagined possible. As with all good science fiction, it never really answers most of the questions it raises, merely sparks the imagination. Gibson weaves three stories together in a manner that becomes clear and much more furious towards the conclusion of the book. The last 50 pages simply flew by.”
