pick51/150 While Neuromancer is the better known Gibson book, I found this to be the superior read. Short stories that carry a punch, views of a world full of technological wonders, but Gibson prefers to explore the dark underbelly of that shiny future, what people will give up or become to survive. 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐💫

I put the shotgun in an Adidas bag and padded it out with four pairs of tennis socks, not my style at all, but that was what I was aiming for: If they think you're crude, go technical; if they think you're technical, go crude.

This will be an ultra-rare double reread for me. According to Litsy, I read and panned Snow Crash 6 years ago, but I'm reading it again for #ClassicLSFBC. I don't remember much about it except it was chaotic. I originally read Burning Chrome around '88-'89, so it's been long enough for it to feel new again.
I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description or reason for wanting to read the book. Some are old and some will be new. Don't judge me - I have a lot of books.

I'm not totally sure I haven't already read this. Several years ago I went on a Gibson jag and read a number of his novels and short stories from various collections.
