Its sorta obvious many of the authors only knew women through escorts and dominas, which is totally fine, but a bit sad.

as opposed to computer science, international corporate espionage and urban gang warfare, topics which someone like william gibson surely knew through extensive personal experience and not by pulling fairytales out of his butthole.

no thats one of the most influential sci-fi books ever to be written, IIRC it influenced alot CCRU writings and whole lot of other stuff. The whole sprawl trilogy is good
>>12938542
I don't understand how people flock to these type of ideas? Maybe post PoMo 'genre' books are uninspired and banal but theres no reason to say this when theirs tons and tons of "genre" fiction that has undeniable influence and in turn can be "good". Putting yourself in a bubble off influence of a fad is only degrading to your own character, but if you don't like genre fiction you don't like it but to say all of is bad is purely ignorance

A lot of it is trash in that it’s very often based on an incredibly hamfisted “WE LIV IN A SOCIEYY” bullshit premise that amounts to a low tier Black Mirror episode
