Some short thoughts after reading the first couple short stories:
Johnny Mnemonic: This definitely feels "cooler" than the movie adaptation it ultimately got lol. I imagine not having to pad out to feature-length runtime also helps in that regard.
The Greensback Continuum: Interesting! Not what I would traditionally think of when thinking "science fiction."

I really wanted to enjoy this (and to some extent I did) but there's something about the prose that makes it feel dense, almost? Like it's hard to keep my focus on it. I might come back to it in the future, because the worldbuilding is very unique, but I don't wanna feel like I'm having to force myself through it.

Content warning Minor Semiosis spoilers
For whatever reason I find that I'm not as engaged with this second book as I was the first. I wasn't super hot on Semiosis to begin with, but it was mostly the discovery of the Glassmakers and Stevland's perspective that made it worth the read. Maybe I'll pick this back up at some point but for now I think I'm gonna shelf this.
