Neuromante

Uno de los libros que me ha resultado más difícil de comentar/calificar... Por un lado, me parece admirable la forma en que Gibson se adelanta a su tiempo de maneras que muy pocos se atrevieron y muchos menos consiguieron convertir casi en "profecías". Por otro lado, la narrativa es difícil de seguir... No por compleja, quizás es un asunto de gusto personal o del momento de mi vida en que lo leí, pero me costó conectar emocionalmente con los personajes. Me lo apunto como un libro al que le debo una segunda lectura, con una disposición diferente de mi parte.

I wanted a happy ending for the characters but I guess it fits more that it wasn’t. Aesthetically it’s a master piece, it's everything I love about cyberpunk. It's a classic for a reason.

Also yea I absolutely try to look like a razorgirl any chance I get.

It took a long time to read because it’s so dense and a little abstract the whole way through. Some noir plots in the beginning with an action movie ending, which is all well and good, but the characters don’t have much depth to them.

It’s a absolutely an important piece of sci-fi pop culture but as a novel it’s not memorable for me.

I thought I'd read this before, but remember nothing. Which is surprising, because it was really freak'n cool. From the very first line, it's all so dang evocative. I had to re-read so much of it to savour each description. But also had to re-read a lot because I only read a page or two at a time, and I got lost a lot returning to it, because everything moved so fast. But hot dang, I see why it's a classic.
