This months book club pick

@dmk@ramblingreaders.org One of his better works. Keep in mind as you read it that it was groundbreaking at the time, and while it feels a bit samey now, a lot of cybertropes exist now because of this book and not the other way around.

@futzle @dmk@ramblingreaders.org I've also had this on my wishlist for years. I should get around to it someday... Did you read the other two Neuromancer novels?

@futzle@outside.ofa.dog @Barbarius@outside.ofa.dog Nope, have you? I don't think I've read anything else by William Gibson actually

@futzle @dmk@ramblingreaders.org I've read the second one (Count Zero), but not the third (Mona Lisa Overdrive) yet. It was good, but different. It's set in the same universe but with none of the same characters. Still weird and funky though.

Apparently Gibson's script for Alien 3 is "one of the best screenplays never made". I haven't read it though. But BBC produced a radio play of it a few years back which I'm keen to check out!

@futzle@outside.ofa.dog @Barbarius@outside.ofa.dog nice, I'll add it to my to read list.

Oh wow, I didn't know that was a thing. I don't hate Alien 3, but it was pretty dull. If his script at least doesn't kill off Hicks and Newt straight away it'd already be an improvement.

Alien 3: at least it's not Alien Resurrection. 🙂
