My comment wasn’t on the book or the show’s relation to the book, just the Netflix series. Is it a good book/series?

- tenacious_tuna 6y agotl;dr I've enjoyed them enough to buy them three times: once on kindle, once paperback, and again paperback as a set.... but I wouldn't rate them as 'high literature'. I enjoyed them, though they do have flaws. They embody some of the firm tropes of cyberpunk--lots of sex, lots of grisly violence. The first one is a fantastically done mystery, IMhO. The second and third do some marvelous worldbuilding. In hindsight, they do remind me of The Expanse's writing a bit.
- effingwewt 6y agoIMHO, much like the show it started spectacularly and spent its fuel too soon. I thoroughly enjoyed all 3 books, but there were definitely diminishing returns. I will say even at its worst the trilogy is still better than the show (at least season 2)
