Glad you're Burning Chrome before talking about Neuromancer. Almost all of booktube skips or completely ignores it, because "short stories." Dammit kids,. . . Short stories is where the Science Fiction takes place! Excited you're looking at an antecedent like "Paradox Men" as well; speaking of antecedents, a number of Philip K Dick short stories from the 50s have a whole bunch of "cyberpunk- ish - ness" about them. And Mirrorshades! Will you review and read to us from Mirrorshades as well? Yay! Cyberpunk week!!!
Someone advised me to read ‘Burning Chrome’ first. Very good advice. Three of the stories introduced characters or background for ‘Neuromancer’. I’ll talk more about why ‘Neuromancer’ dominates the conversation on Friday.
Relatively unknown, Daniel Keys Moran is superior to Gibson, imho. Emerald Eyes has the Castanavares telepaths, the cyborg Peacekeepers in Occupied America, the god named Storyteller, Camber Tremodian, and the beginnings of the Time War, and the birth of Trent the Uncatchable, who may have been a god. Moran is the best, most imaginative author I've ever read. Don't forget Denise Castanavares, who chose a 150,000 year old Person of the Flame, to become the Regent of Earth after the War against the Sleem. Everything will make sense if you read the books. 😮❤😍🥰👍🤩. And yes, it's cyberpunk. 😂
@@vintagesf very likely. However, I have read Gibson, and while enjoyable, I find Moran far better. For sheer breadth of imagination, Moran is astonishing. 😉
Really looking forward to Neuromancer Richard!
Sounds great, Richard. I look forward to it. The sale looks awesome, btw. Cheers.
Fantastic! Always love a good cause ❤
I need to read Burning Chrome sometime soon. It's been sitting on my shelf for a while. 😅
Looking forward to hearing what you think of Neuromancer
Oh man, wish I could be there for the sale, looks amazing. I'm really looking forward to cyberpunk week!
You are always delightfully enthusiastic and encouraging. Rock on
Great cause to volunteer for, Richard. Really looking forward to the cyberpunk stuff and your thoughts on Neuromancer.
I'm really sorry I am going to miss the Children's Hospital Book Market but is would be a bit of a trip to be there. Have fun with it.
I'll try to make sure you dont have too much to pack up at the end on Saturday.
@@CantelopeSkiz Awesome. You’ll come away with some great books at unbelievable prices.

@@waltera13 No PKD this time around but I’m pretty certain there will be a second cyberpunk week.
@@vintagesf Yay!
Mirroshades, and Michaelmas, oh my!
Burning Chrome is essential. But everyone talks @ Neuromancer. Why not Count Zero or Mona Lisa Overdrive?

There is a sense that Gibson got there first. Not sure if that’s true.
