Welcome to Litsy!

I read a little more and, uh oh, I am in danger of loving Bobby aka Count Zero aka an idiot who just got his brain computer scrambled by maybe touching a vast, alien machine intelligence. Try not to pull your own face off, Bobby!

Reading along with Shelved by Genre, starting the parts of the Sprawl trilogy that I don't think people talk about much! Very interested to more properly meet the possibly titular Count Zero, who has been around for about 3 pages and spent them all stupidly computer-dying

#bookspin for November and this was WILD. I really enjoyed the story of Nell & how the primer helped to shape her - some interesting concepts here

Great rifts rpg book about mercenaries!

"Neuromancer" is an acquired taste. You will get a bare minimum of exposition and either put it back on the shelf or let go, letting it take you along its dizzying course. The story pulses with neon action atop a subtle undercurrent of humanity. The beating heart is always there, however muted. "Neuromancer" is rewarding if you persevere, surrender and succumb to its world, which not all (understandably) will be willing to do.

1. I guess average for someone my age who works a typical office job.

2. I really enjoy books that prove to be prescient about technology rather than describe what's happening now, so I'll say Hyperion and the Book of the New Sun/Long Sun series.

Was interested in this after reading that it was a major influence on the original Matrix movie. And like the first few times I saw The Matrix, I didn‘t grasp all of it, but I did understand it well enough that I wasn‘t totally lost! Definitely see how groundbreaking it was when it was published in 1984. I‘m glad I read it!
