A review by story_goblin
Neuromancer by William Gibson

adventurous challenging dark mysterious tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

I can see why this book was so important to the sci-fi genre and how it effectively created cyberpunk, but a lot of its structure is just not my cup of tea. I don’t love how the female characters are written, I don’t understand why drug use is featured so heavily, and the pacing felt odd to me.
