2 stars. I really struggled with the book. The prose felt over written and chaotic. I found myself being so deep in the slang and “cool future speak” that I didn’t know what was actually going on.

The techobabble did not age well and the characters are boring as hell. If this wasn’t such a classic and on every list I would have DNF’ed it. I went in with an open mind but cyberpunk is not for me.
