The granddaddy to all cyberpunk media, and incredibly prescient given our current moment. Coined the term “Cyberspace”. Gibson wrote this on a typewriter in the canadian wilderness in 1984. It was his first novel. I finished it in 4 days after kicking it around for years. immediately moved on to the sequel. Honestly prescient doesn’t even begin to describe how accurately this book predicted our present, and its future.

Buy a bunch of weird nuts at the store and put them together. It’s not trail mix.
