I just re-read Neuromancer for some reason and... I still don't really get it.
Though I'm not certain it's making any particular statement. The hero mall-ninja. The wasp nest of big money. It's like a bunch of dream images each with their own resonance rattling around in what would be unfair to call 90s pastiche... because to be fair to Mr. Gibson, he invented what was later imitated.
But, yeah. I still don't really *get* it.
