For me it's Neuromancer. The prose is a fucking nightmare. There is not a single line worth reading twice. I could feel my braincells dying every time i had to start a new page.

this was shit bros

Do people seriously think this is good? The plot itself is actually pretty good and if articulated by another writer could be quite good on its own, but he's just so unclear about how certain events unfold (especially the riot they incite near the beginning) and how the technology in the book actually functions. You're left scratching your head wondering what the fuck this guy is trying to describe half the time. Yeah yeah, inb4 filtered. Sure man he's doing the purposely murky bit, except it's just shit. That's all in light of the fact that these characters are absolutely terrible 2-dimensional non-entities that are barely given personalities let alone backstories or motivations. Bro it's a novel with like three major characters and they're all just blank lmfao, HOW DO PEOPLE THINK THIS IS GOOD? Fuckin slog of a read, would not recommend. 4/10
