On its own, without any comparison to any of Pynchon's other

if you're nostalgic for dotcom bubble era nyc might as well read it, but it's not that good

Nah just read Neuromancer instead.

come on now, neuromancer is a piece of shit, bleeding edge may suck but it's still pynchon

No.

>>9404169
you might as well recommend Ready Player One

(I don't recommend Ready Player One)

It's good. Just a bit longer than it justifies.

>>9404185
Can anyone post that one page that's just references for Ready Player One?

>>9404195

>>9404169
bleeding edge makes me want to read neuromancer
gonna have to buy myself a copy one of these days

>>9404185
Neuromancer is leagues better than RPO. Check your privilege.

... Whatever happened to work standing independent of its author. If a book sucks its author ought to be irrelevant

It's a solid 3/5.

I think Bleeding Edge actually suffers from being a Pynchon novel. People are willing to shit on it because it doesn't have the reputation of his other books yet.

I really liked Bleeding Edge. It's a good book about family, NYC, computers, conspiracies, and the early 2000s. The father-daughter conversation towards the end of the book is a great resolution to all of the themes in the book.
