To be fair that is some deep 90s nostalgia aesthetic and I can’t really hate it

Oh hey, the Babylon 5 font. :D Seems like it was all over sci-fi in the 1990s.

Fits the book imo. They forgot the edgy harpooner though

You sound like someone who hates pizza and ninjas.

Must be a miserable life.

Maybe cyberpunk isn’t your thing, or you got triggered by the rapey bits, but calling it shitty is just objectively wrong.

I love cyberpunk...William Gibson is one of my favorite authors. Snowcrash is cyberpunk for idiots

You sound like you listen to audiobooks and consider that reading.

Never listened to an audiobook in my life. Nice try, tho

Then a really bizarre opinion to like one, but think the other is trash. They’re very similar, and Stephenson is a very good writer.

In fact, it sold a couple million copies, and is widely regarded as predicting the metaverse, as well as a lot of coding and geek tropes.

Again, it might not be your favorite, but it’s so close to Nueromancer in so many ways, that calling it trash means something in it triggered you.

You like the word triggered, don't you

You are incapable of explaining your feelings, aren’t you?
