Neuromancer or William Gibson?

[Carafin]

I'm jukst wondering if anyone else has read Neuromancer in particular, since I just finished it and found it good.

Sorry I have such bad spelling and clarity problems,
I just read Neuromancer by William Gibson, and I'm wondering if anyone else has read Neuromancer or any of Gibson's other books.
Basically this is a bump

Yep, I've read it, and it was one of those books you come away from with a feeling of having your world-perspective slightly skewed - it was that damned good. I haven't read any of his other stuff yet, but I'm going to once I clear some more of my reading list.

It's one of my favorites, and the few others I've read by him are also great. I have all his books, and am slowly working my way through them. Good good stuff!

[The Gaffer]

Yes, read it and a few others.

He's probably the best of the cyberpunk type authors, though I wonder if the genre is starting to date at bit. All that virtual reality stuff is starting to look like a 1980s vision of what 2020 would be like.

Well I just finished Mona Lisa Overdrive, and it features basically a continuation of the story of .... well society, after the merger of the two AI's in Neuromancer. It is interesting, his views on the future.

How does it compare to Neuromancer?

[Carafin]

well I liked it a lot, but it didn't have some of the depth that Neuomancer had, with the stuff that really got you thinking about AI's and society. I think it was more of a....action adventure type of thing(although there was some deeper stuff...just, I guess not as much)
Hope that helps (and I hope it makes sense! :rolleyes: )
