So this book created a whole new genre of SF: cyberpunk. Gibson invented many words and concepts that are now part of common internet lingo. This is a groundbreaking piece of fiction.

So what! I was bored by it. Now that I have read several noir Hugo winners, I've come to the conclusion that I don't really like it. At least I don't like what I've read in this challenge. I guess I like to watch SF noir more than read it. I like to watch dark, dingy noir. I don't like it described to me. And I hate having to learn a whole argot for the novel. At first, it's challenging, but it becomes tiring.
