About this deal

Instead, it seems to me, while communication and connection have driven a lot of our technology in the last decade, it has been less immersive forms - text-based communication that doesn't rely on synchronicity to be effective; communication that enables us to chat lightly with a wide range of people - not the kind of tech that lets you get (literally) into your lovers head. They are sequences of people immersing themselves in the net and drugs which come across as lucid fever dreams.

To allay his boredom and sense of futility, he regularly escapes into a classic game using a hotsuit to enable him to virtually interact with the two main characters in the game.A first league title came in the 1956-57 season with an eight point gap over nearest rivals West Auckland. After being runners-up in the Durham County Challenge Cup in 1981-82, the club enjoyed a purple patch with a host of League and Cup successes, despite being relegated to Division 2 in 85-86. I wouldn't say that I'd like to read this again anytime soon, perhaps, because it was something of a chore, but the satisfaction quotient is WAY up there. We had a bunch of friends all interconnected on the media-train in all different positions or outside of the corporate loop, and most of it was fairly interesting in and of itself, but then I kept asking myself.

I’m glad to have read it, and it’s definitely way more satisfying than some of the other 3-star reads on my shelf, but I also wanted more from it in the end. Synners is interesting for coming towards the end of the cyberpunk movement, at least before subsequent books like Jeff Noon's Vurt and Richard Morgan's Altered Carbon began taking it in very different directions and the movement was subsumed more into science fiction as a whole.It doesn't lack for explosive events but has a strong character focus and solid world building which really marks it out. The story is about tattooed druggie hackers who listen to rock music and go against a big corporate record label, or something. A first trophy as Northern Leaguers saw them win the Northern League Challenge Cup in 1951-52, Captained by Irving Johnstone. Also into the Synners fold came goalkeeper Eric Chamberlain (68-86) who amassed 454 appearances and defender John Alderson (73-86) who featured 434 times as well as Peter Cook (76-87) who netted 156 goals, and is the 4th all-time top goal-scorer. It's impossible, obviously, not to read this 1991 novel with 2014 eyes, but I suspect that simply enriched the experience (particularly as I find cyberpunk mostly irritating as a rule).

And the story still whacks along like Metallica on fast forward, and the scenarios haven't lost an inch of punch. The characters are nearly as sharp as the lines, and the world-building is neat - info-LA plugged into every form of VR there was, from appetite-suppressant implants to insty-parties for the suburban wannabes, via somebody's gypsy cam and somebody else's wired up hot-suit. This isn't the only example of the beauty of Cadigan's writing, but it is the most easily encapsulated. She long ago gave up the idea of them as a couple, but still sees their lives as permanently and intimately twined. Now that he has sockets he abandons his body and learns to use the technology around him as his senses and limbs.And, most importantly, the presentation could have been done in a way that didn't make me feel "toxed" for the majority of the book. Synners left the Belasis Lane ground to make way for a new ICI office block in 1958, moving to the impressive Central Avenue Stadium (across the road again) with a 2,000 capacity Cantilever Stand (the longest in the Country at the time) and a running track around the perimeter. Also making his debut was James Magowan (2004-15), coming off the bench to score against Brandon United, who completes the top ten of all-time goal scorers coming in at joint 6th with 125 goals.
