I just can't deal with William Gibson's writing style. I could not deal with it twenty-five years ago when _Neuromancer_ came out, and I can't deal with it now as I tried this book.

The flow is choppy and practically incoherent. He tries much too hard to slice into a genre of his own. Judging by his following, he has succeeded. However, just like with modern art, some see the genius of the artist and some see snot on canvas. I simply don't grok it. Perhaps I will try again in another twenty five years.
