Forum Overview :: Dead Trees :: It's quaint?

[quote name="Zuckerberg's shrink"]It's interesting to read the dawn of cyberpunk and it remains an interesting setting, but it reads fairly sophomoric. Not very far above all those old D&D novels I was into during grade school but are embarrassing now. The street samurai chick boning the computer nerd was especially self insert cringey. Currently I'm reading through <u>Snow Crash</u> for the first time and am having a similar reaction. It's interesting reading all the gig economy predictions made in 1992, pre-Amazon, but the writing skill itself falls short. It's like he's trying to be twice as outrageous as Verhoeven satire but with half the wit.[/quote]
