Cyber Yuki@lemmy.worldtoScience Fiction@lemmy.world•Why is Neuromancer so hard to get in to?

1 month agoMy advice is to download a Neuromancer glossary from the internet and have it handy for whenever you encounter a strange word.
For me it was “trodes”. Trodes = electrodes, they allow your mind to plug into cyberspace (a futuristic version of the internet). Also, a deck, or cyberdeck, is basically a laptop without screen made to connect to Cyberspace - we have trodes now.
Take it easy, go with the flow, and play some Techno music in the background to adjust the mood 😎
I’d also recommend listening to the BBC radio play instead of trying to read the thing, it’s pretty cool.
And in 2026, deep divers will be searching for datapads to find out what went wrong.
