#27 Neuromancer by William Gibson

First time reading anything by William Gibson, and will be my last. The book wasn't bad, really good science fiction, but that's the problem, all science fiction is the same stuff. Any genre fiction has certain parameters that it must abide by in order for a work to be considered that particular set of genre. After a while, if you are a close reader, you start to pick up the nuances (this just doesn't work for me). Yet, if you area devoted science fiction fan and haven't read this, you must.

sidenote: The Wachowski brothers ripped Gibson off when they made The Matrix.
