What a fun revisit. You can tell it's a first novel, Gibson is a little too fond of his own prose, but the way he welds noir to sci-fi still reeks of back alleys, poorly ventilated squats and overheating processors. Sure the plot is a mess, sure the characters are flat, sure much of the tech is adorably outdated (though the whole AI plot feels pretty on point these days) but the whole thing is just so incredibly stylish that it makes you want to love it.
