Review of 'Burning Chrome (Sprawl, #0)' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
This is the year of rereading William Gibson, though I read Neuromancer at the same time as a friend last year. Burning Chrome is a collection of stories, some loosely connected to Neuromancer (and the Sprawl setting). I quite enjoyed Burning Chrome and Johnny Mnemonic, both in the Sprawl. I didn't like the Gernsback Continuum. As a collection, I found this uneven.
It is perhaps telling that this anthology doesn't make it into the top half of anthologies I have read in the last ten years.
