    Part of what I love about William Gibson’s groundbreaking Sprawl trilogy is that in this world, there’s still art, still religion, still all those human things. Sometimes they get deeply intertwined with cyberspace which is fascinating, but they’re not erased or eliminated by it.

        In Mona Lisa Overdrive, the one I’m reading right now, there’s a character who’s obsessed with determining the shape of cyberspace. Other characters think he’s a kook. But it seems like exactly the sort of thing some people might get obsessed with and see as deeply meaningful.

        Huh, sounds interesting. Never really liked Asimov's view that someday all religion would be seen as antiquated superstition.

        I always imagine Asimov would've been a reddit Athiest if he'd been in this generation

        This is why Pattern Recognition is my favorite of his books. It’s *all* the human part. Clothing, disgust, the way a key feels in the hand, anxiety.

        Oh the anxiety is so well articulated in this book

        I revisited the Sprawl books for the first time since high school this year and was extremely pleased at how well they held up.

        Great point. I wonder if the abundance of self expression that even extends to cyberspace avatars or IRL body mods are a direct response to the oppressive megacorps and their branding encompassing so much of those worlds. People create art in the few spaces left that they own.

        I read Neuromancer young (probably younger than I should have! 12 or 13) and the way it ends on a devastatingly human note made a big impression on me

        Definitely. Terrific final stretch. Perfect last line.
