re: #56 William Lewis

I has an old feeling. I went “Oh hell yeah” and my son went “What’s that” I go “_NEUROMANCER_ dude. William f’in Gibson.” “You’re the only William I know. So what’s that?”

So I had to explain the origin of cyberpunk (he owns Cyberpunk 2077 ironically… ) in Gibson, Sterling & etc… TPB’d an audiobook of Neuromancer narrated by the man though for him so that’s a win.

Meanwhile he’s snarking on the 3rd largest megacorp making a media on cyberpunk… and there is a certain humor to that I have to admit 😈

Read “Neuromancer” for college, still have the book, though I’ve haven’t cracked it open in ages.

If one reads that book, they’ll see all the influences, pulls, and outright thefts from it in all sorts of media since then, Cyberpunk 2077 being just one of the latest.
