BRILLIANT ADAPTATION

When viewing the film, I always thought that Johnny Mnemonic could have been more. The script laid out a world as amazing and dark as BLADE RUNNER, but the film itself was a cheap piece of trash.With Terry Bisson's novelization, we can see the world missing from the film. Wonderful characters. Gritty surroundings. Cyberspace.Bisson's prose is as rich as that of cyber-guru William Gibson (who wrote the screenplay). He even borrows a few frazes and slangs from Gibsons other works.Don't see the movie, it'll be a waste of your time. But this book just might teach you somthing.
