I really want to like Neuromancer but I can't stop cringing

I will probably buy if only for the cover

Nah, the ones in Virtual Light are far more normal.

Sounds like a natural response to pleb fiction. Stick to literature

no Gibson even said its immature writing, check out All Tomorrow's Parties or Spook Country

They're corny as fuck but it gets better. The ending of Neuromancer is really cool (and a couple of the people introduced later on are interesting). Just focus less on the characters and more on the action and sci-fi concepts.

I think Neuromancer can be a neat read of you're interested in post-humanism.

Neuromancer is one of the best works of science-fiction, and certainly the best cyberpunk novel written by Gibson. That of course makes it the best cyberpunk novel.

So no, they're worse. desu I dunno why you'd cringe though. Like it's not exactly top-100 literature but the characters aren't cringey.

The fact that the characters are corny actually work with the book. Society has done this to them.
