Read the book for the first time last year. I heard from some people that it hadn't aged too well—that it should be viewed as more of a precursor to things like Snowcrash—but I really loved it. In particular, the language used to describe drug states and events in cyberspace (such as the Kuang virus) was just so vivid and disorienting. (Or I guess "hypnagogic", to use a Gibsonian word.) A less talented author would have made it feel rote and computery, whereas this cyberspace felt more like a collective fever dream. And what brilliant world-building! Every page had something strange, intense, and new, from "the long pulse of Zion dub" to resuscitated memories of dead men to the beehive of the Tessier-Ashpool compound. Few works are able to create that all-encompassing sense of weirdness, where every strange thing builds on the previous one while somehow keeping the reader focused on the story. (Last book to successfully do that to me was the Saga series.)

It was fascinating to realize just how much of our culture is indebted to Neuromancer. So many games and movies use scenes or characters taken wholesale from the pages.

Now if only somebody would do a TV adaptation of the original!

(As an aside: after finishing the book, I really enjoyed this artist's take on the characters. It was uncannily close to what I was already picturing in my head: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/Qo4Z8)
