Nueromancer

Here's an awesome book written in the 80s and invented the term "matrix" and "cyberspace"

You can find it online at
project.cyberpunk.ru/lib/neuromancer/

I don't know if it's "red pilled" but it's an awesome read.

Go to bed, William.

you're a Negromancer

That book is garbage. I regret reading it.

I find this interesting, thanks leaf.

Good book. Prefer Snow Crash though.

Explain why pls.

Certainly didn't create, or even coin either of those two terms

it's a trilogy. you know that right?

Excellent fiction and an enjoyable read but not red-pilled at all.

>cyberspace
>1980

Inb4 self calling same fag

I like how he got cucked by Blade Runner.

matrix is a Latin word dumbfuck.

Nice one, really blown away after i found out Gibson was the "Father" of the term Cyberpunk...
i usual recommend ppl to read Orwells "1984" or Huxleys "Brave New World", this one is ruely next in my favourites

>Matrix
>1980

HOLY FUCK i was literally just thinking of this and saw this thread

BTW SPACE RASTAFARIS

>in other news, a fucking leaf just discovered the internet this morning. more at eleven

Terrible pacing, a nonsensical plot and forgettable characters.

>invented the term matrix

It was coined in the 1800s by mathematicians to describe what were previously known as arrays for the 2000 years prior to that.

Anyone seen the Johnny Mnemonic movie? It's aesthetic af

So a plantation owner?

you ignorant homosexuals DO FUCKING KNOW that a "matrix" is just a fucking fancy word for a fucking numbers grid and they date back from the fucking VIII century back when accountants needed to make inventories for the goods merchants sold right? RIGHT? YOU CANT BE THIS FUCKING IGNORANT

Pacing: can be confusing ok,
nonsensical plot: you didnt got it?
forgettable character:
Common how could someone forget Console Cowboy Case and the Razorbabe Molly?

Was Gibson the original weeb?

space niggers.....

truly a dystopian future

puccini desu

>>>r/books

>Was Gibson the original weeb?
>Idoru, by William Gibson: A novel about a hard boiled psh kid nothing personal detective that travels to Japan to stop Hatsune Miku from marrying a pop star

yes

>Fembot
>Bionic

I prefer 70s technology.

Have read Neuromancer and every novel that follows up to and including Spook Country. The first two were really fun, but there is an air of increasing smugness that starts somewhere around...Idoru...? Maybe...I dunno'... it's like he begins to become overly enamored of his own farts and while the stories remain interesting and well told, by the time I got to Spook Country, I felt like I was being lectured (yet again) on the evils of capitalism.

Read the first two. Fuck the rest.

And besides, author is a leaf.

>mouth is latex and round shaped for receiving cock
haha

1996 preferred teeth

Neuromancer presents a convincing future. Snow Crash is just bullshit.

Read backwards from Count Zero. His older short stories (Johnny Mnemonic, The Hinterlands, New Rose Hotel, etc) are great.

Heh, this is the way I was introduced to Nuerodancer back in the 90's...still got it to....just kill me.

Shhhhhheeeeeeiiiiiitt

ACTUALLY IT WAS COINED BY KEANU REEVES IN THE 1999 CLASSIC "MATRIX"

I named my wife's son 'Case' because of this book.

Ok. Will look for them. Thanks for the recommendation. Is there a collection, maybe?

It's so cute the way you just discovered Neuromancer the way I did in 1988.

>>lol oldfag!

I know, I know... *^_^*

One of the best books ever written. Read twice. Should read again soon.

I didn't understand the plot at all. What were the intentions behind the cyborg smug guy? What did that rich girl want and why did she kill her dad? Why was the namesake of the book so late in making an appearance? Why is molly such a bitch?

That said I really liked the ai cowboy and wintermute. Kinda disappointed the military guy didn't have a bigger role. Sorry I can't remember the names it's been a while since I read it.

I also bought the "Neuromancer" game shown in pic related in OP.

To win the game you had to sell body parts and/or hack into banks to steal funds so you could update your warez. Somewhere in the game I missed a clue and couldn't get that last ROM upgrade. So I said fuck it, broke out my HEX editor, cracked open the EXE and found the mother lode of pwds to finally win the damn game.

Good times! Thanks for those early 1990's memories, user.

That's awesome, I'll check it out. Did you know the term meme was coined by Maclolm McClaren in his book Weird Science way back in like 1980?

Cite examples of the words "matrix" and "cyberspace" published prior to Neuromancer. You can't because he coined the terms.

The book is worth reading for its syntax and diction since it's so amphetaminely fast paced and wired, and also to see all the stuff that influenced The Matrix.

As a story though, it's kind of immature. But either way it has some creative world building and imagery and ideas.

I wonder what happened to that Marky Mark movie they were going to make for it.

It also has a awesome pc game. Used to play it with my almost non existant english when i was a kid

Fuck yeah! Shin's Pawn Shop!

It's all coming back now, user! The neurons still werk!

I've thought for awhile that Trump embodies Hubertus Bigend

>I have in previous papers defined a "Matrix" as a rectangular array of terms, out of which different systems of determinants may be engendered as from the womb of a common parent
James Joseph Sylvester in 1851.

Bit off topic: I had that experience about learning english with Monkey Island! :P

I reckon pic related was better and had a more interesting spin on the whole cyberpunk genre.

Solaris by Stanislaw Lem was another gorgeous sci-fi novel, really mind boggling reading.

Fucking awesome opening line:

"The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel."
