I think I liked Count Zero more than Neuromancer, thinking about it. The AI that did found art and the curator working for Mr.Freeze's husband were just more interesting characters. I got a few chapters into Mona Lisa Overdrive and just kind of stopped caring. Never finished it.

I got a few chapters into Mona Lisa Overdrive and just kind of stopped caring. Never finished it. Count Zero is a story that takes place in the same setting as Neuromancer but doesn't romanticize the action as much. It is more subdued and less "look at this awesome cyberpunk idea" and just accepts ideas introduced and fawned over in the previous book as elements of reality. I think that I like Count Zero better than Neuromancer, but I also don't think that that Count Zero would be as good in a vacuum. Having Neuromancer as a stepping off point really helps it, I think. I am really looking forward to Mona Lisa Overdrive, but that's just kind of how I feel about every Gibson work I haven't read yet... also, you realize that the "AI that did found art" is a remnant of Wintermute, from Neuromancer, right?
