Gibson's work is so much more about the raw experience than the themes that comparing him to other "better" Sci-Fi writers kinda comes off as that pretentious guy that mockingly compares the output of snotty punk bands to a bunch of extensive anarcho-socialist treatises

We can circle around but it just didn’t make my balls tingle. I expected my balls to tingle so it was pretty upsetting. I called the book a failure which was overstated you said I probably just didn’t really get it which stung as being at least partly true so I dropped a bunch of names for which you mercifully didn’t call me out for being a Chula. I don’t think it stacks up with my favorite sci-fi but that just really means my balls didn’t tingle so I’m going to accept your olive branch and walk my dog.
PS **** that hack.
