this was ok
3 stars
Well written enough to get through, but frustrating in its lack of engagement with the effects of climate change.

its neuromancer 2
4 stars
Its interesting to see gibson circle back on his hit - this is very similar to neuromancer, but more grounded, and somehow set last year, or a few years ago even.
There is a minor grandpa vibes developing too. I don't think gibsons politics are bad, they just feel more visibly centrist than they were in the past.
