Neuromancer probably was the inspiration/source of the Matrix, so
saying it doesn't hold up post-Matrix is pretty unfair. But, like I
said, its bee a long while since I read it. I'd never even connected
to the internet back then. I might not enjoy it today.

I definitely don't feel the urge to read the rest of the Sprawl trilogy, unless someone can convince me the next two books are qualitatively better.
