Nerds Book Review: Neuromancer by William Gibso
Hello, and welcome to our last episode of season four! We’re reviewing an icon, our idol, and early cast book in William Gibson’s <i>Neuromancer<\i>. It’s got sexy robots, international heists and apartments the size of NYC closets, what more could you need in your cyberpunk? Seriously, this novel is genre defining and explanation avoiding — which is half the fun of listening to this episode. How do Adam, Shaun and Mike try to explain what is inexplicable (and for Adam, unfinished)?
If you want more nerdy goodness while we’re off for the summer, why not check out our back catalogue? We’ve read books like <i>Snow Crash <\i> by William Gibson and <i>Walkaway<\i> by Cory Doctorow that are in the same dystopian-cyber-maker-fi vein. If you’d rather a more known property, we read the Star Wars villain book Thrawn. There’s lots to love for every nerd.
We’ll see you again in the fall, with <i>Cloud Atlas<\i>!
