They should have stuck with the statements, the creators can't write a natural sounding dialog to save their lives.

It's brilliant, fantastic, really very good.

But the assistant is a painfully bad actor and it's so cringe whenever he comes on. It's like he actually hurts me.

Wow, it's so weird having your own culture and history described in third person by an American.

I'm considering starting all over, because very very little of this books sticks. I can mention, maybe, two scenes from memory.
On the other side, if it didn't grip me the first time, why would it be better second time around?

I get why some people would love this, but it's not for me.

If this wasn't for book club, I'd have quit a long time ago.
Nothing actually happens in this books.

"You talkin' 'bout a reeevolution"
But that's all. Gods do they talk much.

You're as beautiful as the day I first picked you up, only I am matured enough to appreciate and love your flaws too.

It's so long and so boring.

I guess Bruce Sterling and I disagree on what exactly cyberpunk is. Like all anthologies, some of these are extremely good, pure cyberpunk and some of them, not so much...

The first story was just absolutely shining chrome hardwired neon perfection 👌 at times, it almost felt like an alternate version of Neuromancer.
I forgot how much I adore true, unrepentant cyberpunk.

I...I just don't know.
I want to like it.
Audiobook narrator rubbing me the wrong way.

I never thought I'd say it, but I miss Cugel, greedy, unsympathetic bastard though he was.

Enjoyed the first story. Second a bit less.
"The Lifecycle of Software Objects" was too long and too uninteresting. So many things that didn't make sense.
Finding this author very gimmicky, but persevering.
Once more unto the breach.

A slow burn, but once the fire got going, turns out I really like the heat, more than I thought I would. In other words: enjoying this book immensely.
