Dave TabbI have recently re-read two of William Gibson's "Sprawl" novels, and I can barely count the times I've furrowed my brows to say, "what just happened?"

Median Headroom[Bobby] didn’t really see why anybody who’d been a shithot cowboy for eight years would want to run a nightclub, but maybe it was sort of a hobby. <...> And if Jammer had been a top jock for eight years, Bobby figured he had to be rich…
Did #CountZero predict @dnalounge?
(Bobby still has a lot to learn.)
Rob AdamsonHalfway through my reread of the #SprawlTrilogy by #WilliamGibson. While #Neuromancer pretty much launched #Cyberpunk I’ve always liked #CountZero more. Perhaps Bobby was more relatable to me. Seems like yesterday I was browsing the bookshelves in John Menzies. Still have the originals I bought all those years ago. Saving up was a pain, that £10 a week from stocking the veggies at Wm Low didn’t go far even as a 13 year old!
Dr.Implausible@PacificNic Honestly, I think #countzero is my favorite @GreatDismal book, and one of the reasons was this quote regarding Virek
"And, for an instant, she stared directly into those soft blue eyes and knew, with an instinctive mammalian certainty, that the exceedingly rich were no longer even remotely human."

@igorholas you need to re-read it two or three more times and get #CountZero & #MonaLisaOverdrive too. Actually, I started the trilogy by reading Count Zero first (many years ago) and I think it's the best #CyberPunk there ever was. I've read all three books about ten times since then and they get better every time 😁.

#Cyberpunk / #SciFi stories where giant corps are more powerful than nation states have been my fav since I first read #CountZero (my first cyberpunk book ever). I never imagined this could ever come true in my lifetime but I'm not so sure anymore.
