The story has almost zero action, the characters are insipid and undeveloped, and the prose is wholly unremarkable. I think Neuromancer is popular because it’s popular, which is not uncommon.
The prose is one of the best parts imo. The main character has had his mind and body modified and drugged to the point of constantly being confused. The chaotic writing helped put the reader in that headspace.
Read the book decades ago and enjoyed it. Why do you say it’s terrible?

What do you think about the cyberpunk genre?
Edit: went through your comment history, and you seem to have a pattern of shit takes. At least you’re consistent.

That, and the lack of almost any exposition (except for the “kids show” scene, which was a brilliant trick).
