I just bought pic related. How cringe am I?

Alternatively I think Snow Crash + Do Androids Dream... would work as well

Already confirmed poser. Anyone will tell you the Bridge trilogy is superior.

Man, it's so underrated but I genuinely think I enjoy the Bridge trilogy even more than the Sprawl one. I get that the latter introduced a lot of concepts and was visionary as fuck, but by the time the Bridge trilogy came out, Gibson's writing style had progressed to a much better level. Blue Ant trilogy is my favorite but barely cyberpunk anymore.

very cringe. a brand that sells homelessness to the affluenza-stricken.
those novels hold a special place but are outdated. you get a better view by just looking outside your window, we're already living what they were warning us about. the tech is just different.

Yes, the cyberpunk world of Gibson is already here. If anything it makes his books more relevant than ever since they're describing the present now.

Gibson wrote this entire piece of shit book where the plot was around fictional fashion brands. Spent lotsa words jerking off Japanese denim. The bad guy was a tacticool clothing designer. It’s bad enough I’d revoke his /fa/ pass. He pretty much dresses like every other male author.
