I didn't love Peripheral (although that was Amazon). I disliked Foundation. I disliked WOT, and Amazon LOTR. I don't think I will watch this.
I would consider all of Gibson's books as must reads, if anyone is interested my reading order is:
1. Pattern Recognition
2. Neuromancer
3. Burning Chrome
4. rest of Nueromancer trilogy
5. rest of Blue ant
6. and then take your pick on the last 2 trilogies (Jackpot #3 is not out yet though)
Neuromancer is one of the coolest depictions of the "metaverse" I've ever read, one that still inspires me to think about today!
- fouc 3y agoInteresting, when I was a teen I read all of his pre-2000 fiction within a period of 6 months maybe? Neuromancer, Count Zero, Burning Chrome, Mona Lisa Overdrive, The Difference Engine. Virtual Light, Johnny Mnemonic, Idoru. After that I lost my taste for it almost completely. The novelty factor wore off. I keep meaning to re-read again someday to check if I still feel the same way.
- MattPalmer1086 3y agoYeah, I read pretty much the same stuff, then found I really didn't like his newer work anymore. I actually didn't finish The Peripheral, and I mostly do finish things I start. Maybe I'll have a look at the older stuff again one day too.
- frankfrank13 3y agoI highly recommend Blue Ant trilogy! Its very different though
- ortusdux 3y agoWOT was insulting.
- cchance 3y agoSo you hate most big budget tv lol, like i liked all 4 of those lol The "if its not like the book it sucks" crowd is literally making TV so difficult to get honest reviews of shows.... as shows and not as "it's not my imagination come to life"
- frankfrank13 3y agoI mean, with the exception of Peripheral, I think my opinion of those shows is common regardless of whether the viewer read the books first.
