But at the same time, I can totally get why his writing would come off as try-hard edgy, since it's so heavily rooted in that beat Keruoac style, which I thank Crom every day never really influenced me personally as a writer (despite the fact that I loved On The Road when I was a kid)

That **** gets very old very fast

I'm not even sure why Gibson specifically hit me so hard as an author, since even back then I didn't have much of a tolerance for that style beyond just a few books, but something about the way he basically takes crackhouses and titty bars, rent-a-cops and trillionaires, drugged out hackers and elite soldiers, and manages to find and bring out warmth and life and insane beauty in them, even at their worst moments, and yet coldness and despair and disillusionment even at their best moments, just sucker punched me
