I only got half way through this because of the multiple narratives. Miss Harry Seldon and his wife.

This is a good question. IM aware of a few good black male fantasy writers, good black female sci-fi writers, but no black male sci-fi

Count Zero is awful. What the fukk happened to Gibson? I only read Burning Chrome and Neuromancer , Sprawl series should have stopped there.

Count Zero made me realize I don't like Gibson's style. I like the attention to detail he uses to describe settings but nikka DAMNAt some point I'm trying to get this shyt over with

I felt similar about Necromancer but it was interesting enough for me to finish

Didn't know other nikkas felt that way about Count Zero too

I love Neuromancer. His style is extremely vivid and engaging to me but Count Zero was a big fall off. He should have kept Case around as the MC and had he and Molly doing things. If you wanna read a better series with the same setting read Steven Barnes' Aubrey Knight trilogy written by a Breh about a Breh. But instead of a console cowboy he's a Zero G boxer. It's really good.
