The story takes me back to 1988 and my first reading of Neuromancer, with the the gritty post-meltdown future in the sprawl . I love reading about it, but wouldn't want to live there.
Yes, Metrophage is a perfect example of the cyber-punk universe that Gibson kick-started with Neuromancer.
Lately I've been reading a lot of Transmetropolitan too, another must-have for comics & cyber-punk fans.
Never really liked Neuromancer (blasphemy, I know. But the first danish translation was really crappy, so I didn't really get the story until I got hold of an english copy (it was that bad)), but this one rules.
The source for this novel is Kadrey's blog and unfortunately, the source itself is full of those problems. If anyone is patient enough to proofread the whole text...
Excellent story, but the Mobi version here seems to be full of typos and formatting errors. Anyone know a way to fix that?
