I found Gibson's other books didn't have that edge which sucked me into "Neuromancer". I am not sure exactly what I didn't like but generally speaking the storylines were not nearly as compelling as "Neuromancer". Normally I really like technology driven sci fi (i.e. hard sci fi), but I often found myself ambivelent about the technology. "Virtual Light" is a good example of this ambivelence. A courier steals a pair of goggles that allows the wearer to see streams of data (or something of the like, it has been awhile...). I can see the value of said object in the context of the book, but a whole plotline focused on this object just didn't strike me as a good read.
