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.

While I could see how innovative it must have been when it came out, it doesn't hold up, especially post-Matrix (which Gibson was nice enough not to litigate over).  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.
