It's not nearly as obscure/unaccessible as people make it to be
If anything its a bit convoluted with so many characters and with the chronology of the events, but that's part of the fun for me

Agreed, reading Hamlet, one constantly must ask, why did he feel the need to remake an already perfect story?
Saxo's Hamlet: 10/10
Shakespeare's Hamlet: 6/10
And I'm probably only being generous, since his son had just died.

Absolutely amazing, especially if you're into the Cyberpunk genre. Gibson has a bit of a strange writing style, but the themes and ideas he ties into the book are well worth the read.

Isn't a big part of Hamlet's characterization his unreliability? That he's a cowardly and fallible man attempting to comprehend the entirety of existence? I thought the whole play was about proving his existential limits and demonstrating that, despite his wits, he ultimatlely is powerless and knowledgeless.
