What year did you read it?
In 1988 when I read it, it was pretty amazing. That was a world before iPhones, the internet, etc.
The book was published in 1984, which was 10 years before dialup internet services were offered and 20 years before the iPhone came into existence.
- badpun 4y agoThat's why I wrote it was definitely groundbreaking (at least as far as I know). As far as an timeless piece of great literature, it definitely isn't. It's just a generic gangster/underworld story with forgettable characters.
- bb88 4y agoI think I get that. War of the worlds by H.G. Wells was a terrible book to read through as well. Groundbreaking, but also forgettable.
