I really enjoyed it. Any recommendations on books to read from others who liked this book?
I have decided to jump from reading horror (Clive Barker, Dean Koontz, ans Stephen King) to trying something different I have been curious about: Cyberpunk.
I decided to start where it all began with “Neuromancer.”
The problem I am having is with Gibson’s writing style. He doesn’t give good character descriptions. I want to know what they look like, some back history, some internal dialogue, or anything to clue me in.
I am also having trouble with all of the future technology that is mentioned. Is there a list somewhere on the web that explains everything?
I am also having difficulty following the dialogue. It is broken, jarred, hard to follow. I have to read then reread a passage to know what the hell is happening or has happened.
I am an avid reader and a beginning English teacher. Why am I having so much difficulty with this text? “Crime and Punishment” was easier to follow. I like the genre od cyberpunk and the subculture that has come from it, but the roots of it all is making it tough.
Is it just me, or is this novel hard for most readers?

Anyone know a good passage from the novel and its significance the passage adds to the novel. Like theme, character, devices used, mood, plot advancemetn etc… I should be able to write 2 pages on it. Mainly 3 good points (paragraphs) and able to expand on it. Thanks to whoever can Help
There was a DL on Limewire & it has said, neuromancer beside Gackt’s name. Is there anything in history of Gackt’s music that says neuromancer?
