Mona Lisa Overdrive by William Gibson
4.0
Neuromancer and Count Zero are both very chaotic books with multiple moving parts being described by characters who have limited insight. Sometimes their perception is even impeded by drugs or constrained perception.
I like the idea of this kind of frenetic storytelling, but the actual experience usually just left me fatigued, confused and reliant on the internet to provide me synopsis.
I’m happy to say that Mona Lisa Overdrive finds the razors edge of chaos and clarity. For me at least, I could make sense of the story through the strained perceptions of warped characters.
Also, the authors afterward in my copy was a fantastic emotional conclusion to reading this trilogy—especially because I read this on a kindle.
