I feel like Keanu Reeves mainlined this audiobook reading. The punchy inflections are there minus his punchy pissed at being dead attitude. Nova.

Why do have so many scifi books have all this technobabble? A 7 function force feedback manipulator.. Wtf is that even?

I wonder how many people have listened to this without noticing or seeing in the description that this is an abridged narration. Big sections of beautiful descriptions and world building missing.

The narrator sounds like he has legit brain damage! ARE YOU SERIOUS WITH THIS SHIT!!????

Kiss kiss Molly's lips

Did Gibson record audio for Count Zero and Mona Lisa Overdrive?

... and aside frpm the work of P.K.Dick... this novel is one of the greatest amphetamine-fueled creative acts of the 20th Century...

Wait... are you saying this is the UNABRIDBGED recording? Because I've followed along with the book and he skips many, many sentences and phrases...

Washed down his brazilian dex with a double espresso….those were the days

at the very end of this segment Gibson chose to omit the description of Yonderboy's camouflage suit which reminds me of the thermoptic camouflage in ghost in the shell

What an ending. You finish having sex and you just hear "This cassette continues on the other side."

I understand that this is an original recording from many years ago....but it's terrible. Imagine if Fifty Shades of Grey was read by Disney's Goofy. The tone, tenor, and various other qualities of this narrator's voice make it un-listenable.

Your music brightened this night for me. Thank you.

Not less than one minute in did I realize I do not want to hear this. He is a writer.

Listening to an imagined future that was only realized for one third, with another third being complete fantasy, and at the end of the audio I hear "this book is continued on the other side of the cassette". Now I wonder what the future even is.

Thank you Pietro. Very much appreciated. Electricity is in my soul.

Is it just me or is it really monotone though? And as I read along with the book, it seems he skips some lines as well…

Yo man, like its the man man, you know like the man. 70s talk is killinv me.

😊 fantastic use of language, love this

I finally get to listen to the book that influenced the cyberpunk genre and that influenced my favorite game of all time. Thank you.

What a perfect example of how rarely, if ever, the author them self should do a narration/audiobook. There are exceptions of course, but this narration is just plain awful.

Miami, joe boy. quick study.

wow

There used to be another reading which made the book much more enjoyable, free is free.

lol Gibsons voice is so cringe

thank you so much for sharing this. such a blast hearing an author reading his own work with this passion. the sound effects are too on point btw.

It was released on 5 CDs as well. Those sound great! Someone should upload those...

Looool this sounds like a basement teenager aggressively reading his own fan fiction. I'm having such a hard time actually digesting the story. This is why you hire actors, they are professionals for a reason. oof i might go buy the book instead.

since this is an abridged reading, can anyone comment on what this version leaves out?

I got this recommendation from Adam Savage, I’m super stoked the author is reading, so far it’s fucking amazing, gonna binge this shit for sure

I uploaded this book to the internet back in the 90's. The cassettes were almost done. These days I swear everyone out there is using that original upload copy. I can hear the same audio issues as my original. Gives my heart a nice warm feeling.

The narration is so much better in delivery than the premium audible version! I started listening to this book on audible but the delivery was so dry, the exciting sequences were a chore to listen to.

Forge Bulkhead grasped the edge of the vault door. For a long time Forge hrld very still , un seen tendrils 40 atoms thick squirmed slowwly within the fabric Uber Teflon. When 17 hours later Forge 'knew' it had a good hold it began to pull and pull and PULL. Forge's feet shifted and the floor under them groaned cracking with sharp pops. Then the vault door screeched and peeled back revealing the Quark Gun in a glass sphere at the center of a plain matte black room. Now it was time for more patience ,the Quark Gun was surely protected by more deadly traps...

You cant listen like a book from a versed author who can deliver tight descriptions and narratives. You instead have to let it "fall over" you. Just listen and let it happen, don't try to understand every sentence. Some of them are very very very very long. But the long messy descriptions will put you "in" the world.

The sky above the port was the color of television tuned to a dead channel.

Y'all are on some serious copium. this is so hard to follow. he can't do different voices or even proper accents when depicting a *real* region of the world. Audiobooks are meant to be done by VA's. no doubt

Thank you so much for the upload Pietro! Do you still have the original mp3 rips by any chance? Instead of the double compressed youtube version.

an invigorating ending to this portion

thank you for this. just getting back into books and this was a nice start

Least I’m not jacked up on preworkout while listening to this and practicing martial arts

Everything in sci fi film, cyberpunk lit, anime and urban fantasy... that has come since this masterpiece, has been in some small or large part... imitation.

Cyberpunk king. After Cyberpunk 2077 i cant get enough
