Neuromancer
Hello Heathens,
Finally finished reading Neuromancer this week. The beginning of the book was slow, but after the halfway point the book picks up immensely. The ending of the book is some of the best sci-fi I’ve ever read and the prose are wild at the end. With lines like “His eyes were eggs of unstable crystal, vibrating with a frequency whose name was rain and the sound of trains, suddenly sprouting a humming forest of hair-fine glass spines,” at the end of the book cementing Gibson as one of the best to ever do it. The descriptions of cyberspace and the world created in the book are something that will be hard to represent on screen, and recently Apple announced that they will adopt the book to a tv show. Hopefully it’s better than Foundation, but I am glad that I read the book.
The book wasn’t an easy read and there were some parts where I was fairly lost in what was happening. I’ve been enjoying reading books that feel a little beyond my reading level since I’ve mostly been reading math texts the last few years. Reading math books are a little more straightforward and lack the flowery language of fiction, but taking a break to read some fiction has been a great way to recharge my patience for math.
Not 100% I’ll read the follow up books since I have some math/stats books I want to read before jumping on to the next books. Here are the missing playlists for those interested, and I hope that you challenge yourself and read something a little beyond your level.
