This is one of the most bashed books in all of /sffg/, aside from memebooks like cumming loudly. It is so so bad I am surprised I read it all. I suppose it's because it's not so obvious and you just can't tell until you go shower and start thinking, and then you go to the fridge and there's no food and you keep thinking... Like slowly boiling frogs, there's not a one chapter that's complete shit, it's the whole book that has shit smeared all over it and you can't tell it's shit because you keep thinking maybe this isn't shit, maybe it's intentional?

I'll point out my major gripe with it that exposed how much shit is in the book before I noticed the rest:
>a single elf can live for 2k years, and there are more than a few that do!
Okay, if a single elf generation lives for 2k years, and they ruled over humans for multiple generations, well, humans are fucking stupid! They are literally braindead. I mean, in the book they are tribal! For, let's say, 5 elven generations, that's about 10k years, but cut that in half, and you still get 5k years of TRIBAL life! They are no more than animals! And it's not even the elves fault! They mostly keep to themselves on the other side of their stupid river, not abusing and oppressing humans, keeping them dumb. Human didn't invent writing living for 5k years, when just on the other side of the river there's this super advanced civilization. Civilization that keeps humans as slaves, and sometimes take walks on """"diplomacy"""" (what kind of diplomacy can even be done with animals anyway) on human territory with said slaves. So, these slaves, having lived with elves since they were born, must know writing exists, yet not a single word of this has reached the tribes for 5 THOUSAND YEARS.

Word is, next book is even worse. Supposedly, all these inventions that weren't made for thousands of years by humans? Yep, suddenly, a single girl """"discovers"""" (disregard the elves that lives just across the river) ALL OF THEM, in a single lifetime!

Who the fuck tricked me into reading Neuromancer?
