there's so many ideas and sentiments packaged into neuromancer that it's hard to see past the early cyberpunk cheese

Oh thank god I'm not the only one

are you really smart though?

What the fuck was up with all those jamaicans? Like what the fuck? The references to dub music was cool though

Gibson ripped off the matrix years before it was created.

I didn't bother getting a reaction image folder for the past 5 years, so i just got whatever from google images when needed =)

I don't understand how you couldn't understand Neuromancer.

And it's a common criticism. What is there to not get?

>>9284740
nobody understands it because it devolves into incoherent rambling towards the end. they just remember the "mood" (which to billy boy's credit was generation defining)

>>9284740
What didn't click about Neuromancer?

watch Ghost in the Shell and Blade Runner and read it again.

It was about a group of people who fled the corruption of the earth do do their own thing. It didn't have to be Space Rastas, except for it allowed for the integration of righteous Rasta theology, which was fun as heck.

the drug / dream / hallucination / complicated changes is what made it hard to understand at times.

you were to intelligent op

>>9284740
it's clunky and all over the place don't worry anon

>>9284881
Rastas have a bit of a gnostic bent, they think this world is the continuation of Babylon, and that god's people were never freed until Haile Selassie and African Unification, and now they must built the new Heaven, Zion.

Which is what they do, only in space. It's a cool as fuck concept desu, little space communes of people who are just fucking sick of earthly bs.
