    Thanks for your comment! It was just too military heavy and dry. I’m a very visual thinker and the writing was quite dry and didn’t grab me at all.

    So far I actually like the ‘dropped in the middle’ effect of Neuromancer, as it can be a bit tiring to read through a ton of explanations early on in a story with so much world building. I’d rather discover concepts through context and ‘living’ in the story a bit first. At this time I’m simply blown away by the fact the story was written over 40 years ago, however it’s still early on so that might change.
