Title: Pretty Disappointing
Review: This is the first of William Gibson's novels that I've read, and I must say that I'm pretty disappointed. Doubly so, because it wasn't something I just picked up off the shelf and decided to read; I had been looking forward to reading it for over a year.The plot was excruciatingly dull, and there was no realism to it at all. I am in the marketing field, and felt more embarrassed by the book than anything. I mean, how could anyone think that the focus of the book--the social implications of "the footage"--could be that valuable, cause so much of a raucous? Seriously.And the inferred underground and technology was not that appallingly futurific either. I was so looking forward to something that would blow my mind and really make me look at things from a different perspective. This was a huge let down.I have heard that William Gibson's other books are more intriguing and thought provoking though, so I might check those out.
Is the review positive or negative?
