But, I will say that, unlike the series or movies, the books do, at least give a sense that the Cosmos Detective Agency has real clients and real work and is less of a crude narrative device for the hero to continue his vendetta against the Tek cartels of future drug dealing.Due to the unique nature of items sold in our store we cannot offer returns unless the product received is damaged or materially different than the description.
This particular novel, the fifth, feels more workmanlike the usual less invested in the ongoing narrative threads of the series. Workmanlike with a touch of invention that overcomes (some of) the constraints of budgets and mid-nineties CGI. But… isn’t it evocative? Your brain fills in the details. To my knowledge, there is no interior design school in Milan whose plastics are easily identifiable. It talks about a bar being decorated in ‘pale Milanese plastics.’ Now, this is not a real decor. The second one that also always gets me is still in the beginning section, but not the first page, if I recall. I never ceased to be amazed by the brilliance of that line, which also ranks as one of the finest opening lines of any novel. The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel. Both are better than the you would expect and have their charms, but I neither is better than re-reading Neuromancer or continuing my rewatch of Farscape (which I actually never finished, but I’m chugging through season three right now).Īlso, can I say that Neuromancer has some of the best scene setting descriptions ever? I am reading another one of Shatner’s (sort of) Tek novels and I am watching a YouTube copy of the first movie (which I remember being on the USA network, but which the internet is telling me showed on the SciFI channel ). Also, a memory of it being on the sort of revolving wire book rack you used to see in drugstores in the Dunedin Library, near the card catalog.
I really can’t, except for a sort of pact with the devil and a deep love of William Shatner.
