I honestly really wanted to like this, as a fan of the Cyberpunk genre, but I just couldn't. I truly found it to be well written, but sadly, it didn't do much to impress me nor make me want to keep reading. However, one positive of Neuromancer is that it reminds me heavily of Akira, which I mean, I'm sure it may have been inspired by this or vice versa. I liked the dialogue, and Gibson's writing style, yet the story felt very bland. I'm sure it was revolutionary back in the day, but now that we're in 2022, (Now this review is dated) I can't see what was so incredible about this. It was just boring with a bit of sprinkles and cherries. Nevertheless, I'd still recommend just for the historical relevance, and because I love cyberpunk.
