Neuromancer was a much easier read to me than "A scanner darkly" I had the same trouble physically reading it as I did with a picture of dorian gray. (top tip, audiobooks totally made them easy and enjoyable to "read")
I'm not a natural scifi-cyberpunk literature person. I want a good story, not spectacle. Neuromancer was a spanking good story.
One thing that did stand out was this: Everywhere had memory foam mattresses.
Some horrid bedsit: Memoryfoam matress
Uber fancy sky hotel: memoryfoam.
- jszymborski 1y agoI'm by no means a quick reader and I devoured Neuromancer. I really had zero problem parsing the introduced words. Easier even than A Clockwork Orange. My experience reading A Scanner Darkly was super painful. Switched to audiobook and quit quickly even then. > I want a good story, not spectacle. Neuromancer was a spanking good story. Agreed, but the prose are also so beautiful. This is not some garden variety pulp (not that there is anything wrong with pulp)
- allthedatas 1y agoThe prose immediately made me think of a clockwork orange when I read it way back. Two of my favorites and that is a big reason. Not easy to pull off.
