I finished Neuromance yesterday. What a thrill ride!

As I wrote before, it’s a novel that I’ve read a couple of times but I’m pretty sure this is the first time that I read the English original and not a Swedish translation. Also, it was a really long time ago that I read it last time so I’ve grown a lot as a person since then. I think I’ve grown to appreciate the setting, the world and the descriptions of thing more then the plot, whereas before I was very plot focused in reading. And the plot of Neuromancer is, truth be told, not that much to write home about. But it’s exciting in the moment and it’s a canvas to paint the world, the themes and the characters on.

I am so glad I re-read this, and I’m very much looking forward to the AppleTv show based on it. If done right, it could be a really good show.

Also, I went straight into ”Count Zero” afterwards.
