This is a re-read of the book. I read it long ago and found difficult to follow the different situations described in the book.

This time, it has has been just slightly easier to read, but yet not a very satisfactory read for non-English speakers of my level (I plan to read it translated to Spanish).

The book pioneered the description of a virtual connected world. We have nowdays (2023) real experiences as our daily dosis of smartphones; or fantasy experiences as The Matrix movie, which is heavily inspired by this book.

The book presents us with funny predictions: as the War Tank Europa popular videogame in the book, which reminds us of modern versions of a similar real thing as War Thunder or Word of Tanks. This is a testament to an opinion that Neuromancer shaped Internet as we know it.
