Neuromancer.
I loved Cyberpunk 2077 and everyone keeps saying that it’s a rehash of Neuromancer so I had to give it a go.
I’m enjoying it but I feel like I might need to read this more than once, the writer’s style is strange to say the least and I feel like I’m never quite understanding what’s going on. I’m not finished but so far I think Cyberpunk’s plot hits harder, but that’s probably because I’m a brainlet maybe.
Also slowly working through Prologomena For Any Future Metaphysics. I’m trying to read Marx but to read Marx I need to read Hegel and you can’t read Hegel without reading Kant so here I am.
Additional reply so it doesn't just get lost as an edit but if you like those kinds of worlds then I recommend checking out Altered Carbon, I personally thought it was better than Neuromancer.
I saw the Netflix series and the first season was amazing, like one of my favorite TV series ever so definitely will check it out. Sad that the second season was so… stale I guess? I think Anthony Mackey is just not a very good lead actor.
