If you let your mind wander, you’ll find yourself getting lost pretty quickly. You have to stay engaged while reading the book in order to follow what is happening and where things are going. In other words, if you haven’t read Neuromancer, you can still read and enjoy Count Zero.Īs I vaguely remember with Neuromancer, Count Zero can be hard to follow at times. The technology basically serves as the only connection between the two books.
While the science fiction foundations and environments are the same – cyberspace, human augmentation, The Sprawl – the story and characters are different. So, for my second venture into Gibson’s extensive library, I choose to read the follow-up to Neuromancer, Count Zero.Ĭount Zero was published in 1986, two years after Neuromancer. It’s taken a while for some reason or another, but I finally got around to it. Those seemingly far-fetched concepts are close to becoming a reality today, if not here already.Įver since finishing Neuromancer, I’ve wanted to read more of Gibson’s works. The immersive cyberspace environment and human augmentation concepts that he wrote about back in 1984 were way ahead of their time. What I do remember is that I liked it a lot, and I was impressed by the amount of technology foreshadowing in the novel. I don’t remember a lot of details about the book.
It’s been nearly five years since I read it. The first, and only, William Gibson novel I’ve read is Neuromancer.
