Good Cyberpunk literature Anonymous Fri Apr 27 22:33:13 2018 No.11066482 [Reply] [Original]

Just tried to read a couple first pages of this book. Bored out of my mind. Loved the movie, but I won't bother with the book. Now I know it's not cyberpunk, but I'm on the hunt for good cyberpunk literature and honestly I don't know what I'm looking for because I didn't like Neuromancer either.

If there aren't any good cyberpunk literature, then recommend me some general science fiction literature.

starship troopers isn't cyberpunk. it's part of the milieu that cyberpunk was rebelling against.

in the same way that punk music was a reaction to the stale disco shit of the seventies, cyberpunk was a reaction to the safe and dull SF of heinlein, niven, asimov, clarke etc.

Neuromancer is THE cyberpunk book. If you don’t like that you probably don’t like cyberpunk literature. Maybe try out Blame, it’s a manga

>>	Anonymous Fri Apr 27 23:56:12 2018 No.11066813 >>11066482 The beginning of Starship Troopers is dispassionate and void of any immersive description of the alien world they're raiding, but I encourage you to push through, it gets much better later on.
