I'm not gonna give this a rating as to avoid upsetting people who liked this book.

I love Philip K. Dick, Blade Runner and Escape from New York, which are said to have inspired Gibson, but I couldn't get into Neuromancer for the life of me. The writing felt unnecessarily convoluted, I was unable to connect with any of the characters as their generic personalities didn't do anything for me. The plot feels dated, man!

I understand that this was an influential book and a trendsetter at that time, coining many of the terms and concepts that we still use today, and I respect and appreciate Gibson for this, as much as I appreciate The Jazz Singer for being the first talkie, even though it wasn't much of a film.

I'm sure Gibson is a great dude, maybe one of his other books will hit the spot for me, but not Neuromancer.

Și premiul pentru cea mai neinspirată sinucidere îi revine lui Lică Sămădăul, care alege să se izbească de un pom la top speed pentru a muri. Oare toți românii erau așa reduși mintal acum un secol?
