I can clearly recall my brain doing a jellied backflip the first time that I read [b:Neuromancer|888628|Neuromancer (Sprawl, #1)|William Gibson|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1281419771s/888628.jpg|909457], those first 30 pages rewiring my brain in uncomfortable yet meaningful ways. In the hundreds of books read since Gibson's magnum opus I've not had that same experience until reading' Basu's poetic mindfuck. When humanity ascends to the next level of consciousness it will probably look and feel a lot like what we see through the eyes of Mara, the story's protagonist. There's so much happening in these 170 pages the reader is forced to slow-it-all-down, chew slowly, rethink and re=read. This past weekend I met a stranger at a party; we got to talking about books and he told me he had just finished reading this gem, and that he couldn't really concentrate on much else. Having finished the book this morning before work, I totally understand. I've been infected and want to go back and read this again. Join me?
