#Neuromancer from #Apple? The #algorithm demands that we now have to like this! I don't expect much. #Cyberpunk & mirrorshades were our thing back then, the #Sprawl series was pretty much required reading. Enthusiasm was reserved for books like #Hardwired or #WhenGravityFails.

E.g. #Cyberpunk2077 is a glitzy, sleazy #corporate appropriation of the #cyberpunk genre of the 80s and 90s. This has very little to do with the #art form. Neither #Neuromancer #WhenGravityFails nor #Hardwired etc. are about fancy cars, cruising and bullshit like that.
#Mirrorshades #booksky #scifi
The books are named after #BobDylan songs including #WhenGravityFails, #AFireInTheSun, & #TheExileKiss. Gritty with its #BladeRunner vibe, it is an early example of cyberpunk. Fun fact: It spawned a video called Circuit's Edge! If you love futurist #detective novels, this is the series for you!
