The first time I tried to read Neuromancer, I stopped around page 25.

I was about 15 years old and I’d heard it was a classic, a must-read from 1984. So I picked it up and I plowed through the first chapter, scratching my head the w...more...]]> 2 11 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Jan 21 15:44:56 -0800 2008 Wed Feb 25 01:53:42 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 14 false false Sat Dec 06 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sun May 04 18:00:14 -0700 2008 Thu Dec 04 14:27:57 -0800 2008 1 Neuromancer.

Not the best writing I've encountered. When it was written, this stuff was new, edgy, weird. It required a new way of expressing the ideas. Now, it's dated and tired. The book is an historical document.

That doesn't mean it's bad. For those of us w...more...]]> 3 3 false false Sun Dec 21 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Nov 18 11:10:29 -0800 2008 Mon Jan 12 18:21:40 -0800 2009 1

First, let me just say that I read for entertainment value. Anything else that happens is gravy. That being said- the biggest reason this book is so awful is that Gibson's characters are completely hollow. Gibson makes it up as he goes along.
