为什么值得读
- 读者普遍评价其在赛博朋克题材中水准极高
- 许多读者认为其阅读体验显著优于神经漫游者
- 深刻描摹了超越肉体限制后永生人类的异化心理
特纳，一名企业雇佣兵，在一具重构的身体中苏醒，身旁躺着一位美丽的女人。紧接着，Hosaka Corporation重新征召了他，执行一项比让他负伤的那次更为危险的任务：Maas-Neotek的研发主管正准备叛逃。特纳的任务是将其毫发无损地带出，连同他研制完善的生物芯片一起。但这引起了某些其他势力的极大兴趣——其中一些甚至根本不是人类。而博比·纽马克则是彻头彻尾的人类：一个来自铁锈地带的数据掮客，对叛逃在网络空间引爆战争时将要降临到他身上的一切毫无防备。伴随着网络上的巫毒教

……义体改造——住在贫民窟、入侵企业数据库的黑客。《神经漫游者》（Neuromancer）像一道耀眼的闪电，把这一切乃至更多概念带进了大众视野。《神经漫游者》之后，吉布森推出了《零伯爵》（Count Zero，我甚至比喜欢《神经漫游者》还要喜欢这本）和《重启蒙娜丽莎》（Mona Lisa Overdrive，水平远不如前两本）。那之后我就没再读吉布森的书了。
…augmentations - slum-dwelling hackers who break in to corporate data stores Neuromancer brought all this and more in to popular consciousness in a blinding flash. After Neuromancer, Gibson came out with Count Zero (which I liked even more than Neuromancer itself) and Mona Lisa Overdrive (which wasn't nearly as good as either of the books that preceded it). I stopped reading Gibson after that.
……太幼稚了，跟《神经漫游者》（Neuromancer）根本不在一个档次上。《神经漫游者》我最早是在 1984 年读的，前几年又重读了一遍，在我看来它依然经得起考验。它算不上什么绝世神作，而且我觉得《零伯爵》（Count Zero）写得好得多，但除了这两本书之外，我还没读过任何哪怕稍微有点接近的赛博朋克作品。在有人像在别处那样提起格雷格·伊根（Greg Egan）或弗诺·文奇（Vernor Vinge）之前……
…childish, and not even in the same league as Neuromancer. I read Neuromancer originally in 1984 and again a few years ago, and for me it still holds up. It's not the greatest book or anything, and I found Count Zero to be much better, but apart from those two books I've yet to read anything else cyberpunkish that comes even remotely close. Before someone mentions Greg Egan or Vernor Vinge, as they have elsewhere…
……推荐《尤比克》（Ubik）、《帕莫·艾德里奇的三重印记》（The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch）和《火星时间滑移》（Martian Time Slip）。短篇故事里，我推荐《沃布的超越》（Beyond Lies the Wub）和《Woof》。吉布森的《神经漫游者》还凑合，但《零伯爵》更好。他的其他作品就别看了。《美丽新世界》是一部被极度高估、笨拙说教的宣传小说，写得毫无才气可言。千万别看。《沙丘》很棒，不过我更喜欢……
…recommend "Ubik", "The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch", and "Martian Time Slip". And of his short stories, I'd recommend "Beyond Lies the Wub" and "Woof". Gibson's "Neuromancer" is alright, but "Count Zero" is better. Avoid the rest of his work. "Brave New World" is an incredibly overrated, heavy-handed propaganda novel, written without a shred of talent. Avoid. "Dune" is great, though I prefer the…
《神经漫游者》（Neuromancer）之所以备受关注，是因为它是吉布森“蔓生三部曲”（Sprawl trilogy）的第一部，但依我看，《零伯爵》（Count Zero）是一本好得多的书。
Neuromancer gets a lot of attention because it was the first of Gibson's Sprawl trilogy, but for my money Count Zero is a far better book.
……感觉就像他们把我辛勤付出的成果付之一炬。但你能怎么办呢？短视、轻视未来本就是人性的一部分。推荐阅读：关于永生者的异质感（alienness）：威廉·吉布森的《零伯爵》（Count Zero）。关于永生者的心理状态：多克托罗（Doctorow）的《魔幻王国的穷困潦倒》（Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom）很不错。至于篇幅更短、半开玩笑半认真的版本，则是道格拉斯……笔下那个“永生者瓦格”（Wowbagger, the Infinitely Prolonged）的故事。
…It feels like they're setting fire to my hard work. But what can you do? To discount the future is part of human nature. Recommended reading: On the alienness of the immortal human: William Gibson's Count Zero. On the psychology of the immortal human: Doctorow's Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom is good. The much shorter, ha-ha-only-serious version is the tale of Wowbagger, the Infinitely Prolonged in Douglas…
……吉布森和很多人一样，在二十年前轻信了关于 AI 的吹捧狂欢。;) 吉布森厉害的地方在于他善于观察。举个例子，我对《零伯爵》（Count Zero）里所有关于约瑟夫·康奈尔（Joseph Cornell）的内容永远心怀感激，因为正是这些描写促使我去看了真正的约瑟夫·康奈尔拼贴盒子展，那些作品棒极了，正如吉布森所描述的一模一样。
…Gibson, along with many other people, believed the hype about AI twenty years ago. ;) Gibson's great because he notices things. For example, I will be eternally grateful for all the Joseph Cornell stuff in Count Zero because it prompted me to go see a show full of actual Joseph Cornell boxes, which are wonderful and are exactly as Gibson described them.
