A review by pharmadelica
Burning Chrome by William Gibson
4.0
There are some stories in here that are forgettable (mostly the collaborative ones), some that are ok but historically interesting, and some that are great and historically interesting.
The title story is absolutely the best one. Very sad in a weird way, and worth getting all the way to the end for. The obsession with the lady character in it is a bit eye-roll-y, but I'll forgive it because it kind of fits the noir tone Gibson was building his Sci-Fi out of.
Worth a shot for sure. Haven't read Neuromancer yet, but I feel prepped for a longer read of Gibsons ideas and language now.
