does neuromancer still hold up? I just bought it for 3 dollars

not really, you should just go read Snow Crash again

omg, Snow Crash is even worse. Gibson's writing in the Sprawl trilogy is what still holds up, not so much the plot, characters, or dare i say it, science and tech. Snow Crash, on the other hand, reads like a high school writing project.

read it again for fun, but don't expect a masterpiece.

The prose is still exhilarating and the style still cool as heck. If you're looking for complex psychological portraits, a comprehensible plot, and a dearth of weed-smoking space-Rastas, you'll probably be disappointed, but I thought it was excellent.

what books have you read that you would describe as having "complex psychological portraits?

My professor is teaching this book this semester lmao what am I in for?

Its really edgy

Dosto comes to mind immediately

>>9060497
Tolstoy, Dosto, Gogol, O'Connor, Greene, Woolf, Wolfe, Joyce... There are a lot.

angst and edge
