This book is the seminal cyberpunk works. It's better than Neuromancer. Yes, it's that good.

This is a fun little book. Yeah, it was written in the middle of the cyberpunk boom, but Rebel Elizabeth Mudlark, Wyeth, Wismon (sp?) and the Comprise all remain interesting characters even today. I will admit the idea of a second spine with "Who knows how many megabytes" sounded much cooler back when I was in college, but it's a minor glitch.

I enjoyed it for the characters, the ideas and the setting and I hope others do to.

Brilliant - but I can't tell you why, because that'd spoil it.
