I recognize that this was originally published in 1912, according to wikipedia, but it was one of the worst sci-fi books I've read. Maybe it was revolutionary and it exciting when it came out, but certainly hits just about every bad trope that sci-fi has become known for . . .

Great book. Although I thought the resolution at the end of the book was fairly weak. Everything else was great. Gibson coined the term “cyberspace” from this book, and is known as the first of the “cyberpunk” sub-genre of sci-fi.

Its also a really quick read. I finished it in around 24 hours . . .

Classy anthology of old school science fiction. When the emphasis in science fiction writing was more on the “science” and less on the “fiction writing”. Still a good read and fun stories.
