Reader comments
The three narrative lines are actually very simple if simplified, but the story of this book is interesting but not important. The detailed details, the plot that needs to be pondered, and the gravity and chemical reaction between the characters are all the essence.
There is a lot of blank space in the book, as if the story takes place in a real cyber world, and we only observe the world through a few small holes along the light path designed by the author.
After reading this, I only have a general impression of the story line, which is not much different from the introduction. There are too many things that I don't understand, but the writing style and narrative style are very charming, and I can't help but read on.
His experience reminded me of a friend of mine who was also struggling with difficult situations and working hard to pursue his goals. The future world in the book is also very attractive and full of technology. Gibson's imagination is truly amazing! I think this book is worth reading.
Creates a cyberpunk worldview and is the cornerstone of cyberpunk
