Just Finished (Re?)Reading NEUROMANCER by William Gibson

I thought I read this book long ago. Like, early 90s. But the more I read, the less familiar the whole thing felt. So … did I imagine reading it? Did I just think I had read it?

I wonder if this is one of those things where the book is so much a part of the zeitgeist that I … absorbed? … the major parts of the story to an extent that I thought I had read it.

Or maybe it’s just that “early 90s” is no
