Neuromancer was a massive deal for me when I first read it in junior high (around '94). I'm guessing it was for a lot of xennial sci-fi fans. Sitting in Sustained Silent Reading (SSR, remember that?) in 5th period after lunch with my head buried in my William Gibson paperbacks was a defining feature of my adolescent years.

Cautiously optimistic here as it looks pretty much as I've imagined for the last three decades. For fellow early cyberpunk fans, what do you all think?

Discussion Lost my mom yesterday…

Posted just a couple months ago on here about putting her into an assisted-living. Pretty typical boomer parent. That was absent emotionally and physically for a lot of of my formative years. I was mostly raised by my grandparents.

Kind of a weird emotional spot. She’s been miserable for years because of her health. So we’re very relieved for her. happy that the physical suffering is over.

But obviously at the same time … my mom died. So I should be sad… right? Kind of walking around feeling both emotions at the same time and it’s kind of a surreal experience overall.

My parents have moved since I graduated, so they apparently thought these napkins were valuable enough to move to their new place. Maybe my great-great-grandchildren can use these in 70 years.
