Reply to comment by RunYossarian in Neuromancer isn’t as hard as I’ve heard… by mikeyboi2567

I think it’s deliberate too, Case can barely go 5 minutes without drugs lol

Also the number of brand manners can be confusing for people. What the heck is a Yaheowan?? Well it's the only brand of cigarette Case likes. But it's a barrier to reading for some people. I also love Gibson's style. Many of his books are excellent.

This is exactly it. Neuromancer is my favourite book (tied with Flowers for Algernon. Can you guess the similarities? Heh.) and the moment his system is flushed and he's forcibly sober, the writing immediately cleans up.

Then he relapses and it gets wild again. God I need to reread this thing.
