I got Count Zero in the post today. Your favourite. Fuckin' voodoo magic, man.
tbf, every city is described like that, very much including the Sprawl, and the various space locations (including the infamous Rasta space station)I like the exoticism as well New Delhi
probably true for fiction in general but especially for scifi etc with worldbuildingI read an interview with Gibson a long time where he said in the best science fiction casual, throwaway references imply a lot
occasionally his descriptions do take on a Bret Easton Ellis vibe
long lists of places and objects, also playing on an 1980s paradigm albeit a 1980s image of the 2050s
City of Quartz came out 6 years later so that can't be right, but if that were not the case that would totally make senseNeuromancer was supposedly influenced by Ciry of Quartz
