In this intricately plotted novel set several years after Neuromancer, a mercenary recovering from a devastating injury takes on a job that is not what it seems, while a young would-be cyber cowboy has an inexplicable experience on the matrix, setting a cascade of events into motion. Fascinating to read this vision of AI from 1986. Is autonomy possible when the machine knows more about you than you know about yourself? Next up: Mona Lisa Overdrive

Fascinating ,if perhaps a bit dated in its outlook and at times a little hard to follow due to slang and such. This is hard boiled sci fi, and you can really see that cyberpunk ideas that so influenced the Matrix movies.

Hello Litsy Friends, it's been a while. This film major is taking a break from movies to catch up on his reading. Starting with the cybernetic canon of William Gibson. I look forward to sharing my thoughts with you all.
