>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 17 13:52:13 2018 No.11800053 How? I dropped it after 20 pages or so. Should I try it again? It seemed really generic and uninspired.

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 17 14:55:31 2018 No.11800436 >>11797309 If you can make it past the initial jolt of pizza and ninja swords, it's a fantastic work of fiction, right to the end. The prose is pulpy and psychedelic.

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 17 19:06:15 2018 No.11801663 >>11797280 >>11797280 I really like the language code plot. Reminds me of the movie Pontypool.

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 17 20:26:28 2018 No.11801947 I read like half of neuromancer and realized I couldn't visualize most of what was being described at all, really just relying on Blade Runner imagery for most of it, am I just brainlet? how did people decipher this shit

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 17 21:15:51 2018 No.11802138 >>11797280 pro tip: that book was a warning, not an instruction manual. unfortunately, we approach that universe more every day.

>>11801947
I honestly can't find the aethetics between the two comparable. Only chibi city is blade runnery in my mind. Neuromancer feels more Tron/2001/moderndayLA.

Anyone else disappoint with count zeros ending? I'm on to Mona Lisa overdrive but the count zero ending kinda put me off.

>>	Anonymous Tue Sep 18 04:44:10 2018 No.11803389 >>11801947 You're not alone. When I read Neuromancer, I imagined a nightmarish Blade Runner for the first while, and after that it lost me.

>>	Anonymous Tue Sep 18 05:04:33 2018 No.11803448 I want this book to get the Ready Player One/Tron Legacy treatment, one day. I just hope they don't skimp on the Sumerian myths. It will be difficult to convey the rat-things as being "dogs", to the audience.

>>	Anonymous Tue Sep 18 11:17:30 2018 No.11804735 >>11797280 Yeah. It's fun, and its discussion of religion in the context of memes and viruses is pretty good. Especially since it largely preceded the internet age.
