Week 4: Discuss the voice being used in Neuromancer

When it comes to Neuromancer, Gibson writes as though all the tech he mentions actually exists and is the norm. A lot of readers may take some time to fully catch on to what he is talking about, but by doing this, Gibson throws you into his cyberpunk-like world. He writes as though he assumes you know exactly what he is talking about. Some may find this frustrating, but I found it to be super intriguing. I felt like I was actually there in the story. A lot of his terminology is very technical and futuristic, (even for our time). So long as we keep an open mind, (and a dictionary or google) nearby, it is a pretty easy story to follow. A lot of the focus is on Case and his view of the world he lives in. If you want to feel immersed, Neuromancer is a great read! - Melani L.
