4.0 out of 5 stars
classic cyberpunk
Reading Metrophage was like re-discovering cyberpunk fiction all over again. He channels noir writers just like Gibson does in Neuromancer, but also drops in some sweet art history and quite respectable tech-extrapolations just like Sterling circa Holy Fire and street pomo theory, a la Zeitgeist.

Don't Bother
I found the whole book disjointed and difficult to follow. There was no real development of an characters just lurching from one disaster to another. Tne story seems to be unstructured and the ending is very disappointing.

Good, but Neuromancer is far better,
By Anthony J Ceci II (gaithersburg, MD United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Metrophage (Ace Science Fiction Special) (Paperback)
once again, a dystopic future where technology replaces morality, etc. etc. etc. It's a fun romp, a good read, but the Zen buddhist ending is VERY heavy handed, whereas Neuromancer's Zen buddhist ending is rather enlightening (just like a Zen buddhist ending should be!;)So should you rush out and overpay for a copy? Only if you like collecting books and/or are a cyberpunk completist. Should you read it? yeah, its pretty good. |
