Are there any readers on /lit/ who work in IT? Cyberpunk seems to be a perfect fit for me. More specifically necromancer and the sprawl trilogy. Seems to be a nice mix of tech jargon coupled with fantasy. Anyone care to elaborate?
I just bought Necromancer. Starting it tomorrow after the last 25 pages of Gravity's Rainbow.

Yeah I meant neuromancer. Silly phone autocorrected it.

Same...I didn't even realize.
People who work in IT and people who enjoy cyberpunk belong to the same trash-worthy demographic of autistic STEMtards. Neuromancer is an "*unsheaths katana"*-tier novel. It sucks. It's garbage.

Proper cyberpunk is pretty retro at this point. Pic related. Give Neuromancer a try, but you might actually want to look at some of Gibson's more recent writing. I didn't like the Blue Ant books at first, but they grew on me as I realised what he was doing (writing stories about how we now live in a cyberpunk world).

really? i thought Pattern Recognition was his best written book by far when i read it. i haven't read any Gibson in years, though, but i remember being very disappointed with Spook Country. so much so i didn't bother picking his next two.

Upset that you work at Starbucks?
I'm halfway through neuromancer and I have no idea what's going on. Is this normal?

Pretty much. It's mainly an aesthetic experience.
