I have tried a few times now to read a Gibson book, but I just don't enjoy them. Yes, there are neat, sometimes revolutionary ideas there, but I have never attached myself to any characters or plot lines. This book starts with quite the Mary Sue moment, as the central character has sex with the first (and one of the few) women he runs into randomly. Just kind of weak writing to me.

I also realize this is sci-fi heresy. But there it is.
