Cyber Punk

[Bitter Bliss]

was a while back now but the last book i read was a *cyber punk* by William Gibson, was titled "Patturn Recognition" (think i spelt that word right) yeah anyway, anyone else into cyber punk books, i'm not really a big reader and never have been. yeah mags are fine or if there's somthing i wanna know i'll read it. was dyslexic back at school, i think i'm pasted that now tho a freind reckons you have it for life, i disagree. although sometimes it may seem like i cant spell, the real answer is the iMac i'm using dont have a spell check right now, plus i have a habbit of typing too quickly. ha this is kinda like get to know Niki thread, but there ya go.....so Cyber Punks fans???

Ive read a few William Gibson books and really enjoyed them. Nueromancer is a masterpiece. He was definately ahead of his time. A friend of mine has dyslexia too, it doesnt bother him as much as it did at school. He says he has learned ways round it and can read fine now just a bit slow.

yeah the William Gibson stuff is great. The latest one I had a hard time getting into though... Pattern Recognition. I don't know why. If you like the Gibson stuff then check out the following:

Haruki Murakami

and also check out any of the Phillip K. Dick books - the books that Blade Runner is based on. Good stuff there as well... similar themes.
