Truly something special

Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2022

This get's some bad reviews online, but it really is a work of genius. The style it was written in is very intellectual & if you can relate to the characters with all their woes & flaws, & can grasp the artistic vision Gibson was trying to portray, you can have a very wonderful experience reading this/listening to the audiobook.

Even 40 years later, not dated

Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2020

Case is a "cowboy," that is someone who can jack in to the cyberverse and manipulate that reality, which in turn will have results in actual reality. He's in bad shape when the story starts. A previous employer was unhappy with his work and messed up his central nervous system, essentially ending his talents. He lives in a bad neighborhood in Japan and spends a lot of time with alcohol and drugs. He's recruited by a new employer who has the resources to fix him, including altering his system so he gets no high from drugs. The mysterious employer wants to orchestrate a digital heist against a well-established and presumed impregnable artificial intelligence. Case is teamed up with Molly, a trained and enhanced assassin who is part bodyguard, part lover. They go through a series of adventures as they prepare for the heist and try to find out who is behind the job.

The story is exciting and fast-paced. I thought it was very similar to The Matrix or Inception, but the novel was published in 1984, so it must have inspired the movies. The book does not feel dated even though it's almost 40 years old. A lot of the tech is not developed yet, but we seem to be on our way to immersive virtual reality and convincing augmented reality. I liked the book a lot. There was nothing particularly deep or profound but as a cyberpunk action story, it is fun.

Recommended.

What's the frequency Kenneth ?

Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2018

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this novel but I probably shouldn't have been .I've read several other William Gibson novels and enjoyed all of them.That's not to say I actually understood them ! There is absolutely no point in my trying to outline or explain the plot here.Strictly speaking ,I don't think it makes much sense but Gibson is immensely skilled in carrying you along.Yes, I would periodically say to my self ,What just happened ?Thankfully I found myself not caring.Here I was in an alternate universe that i would not want to be in . I enjoyed looking at it.
