“Many say the moon is closer to the dead.”

This is COLOR OF A MIRROR, my debut novel with an original, dark ambient soundtrack by composer Josh McCausland to go along with it.

Written, designed, and published by me, it’s the culmination of years of work, and it’s exactly the story I wanted to tell. It’s not loud or bombastic, but rather a cerebral, slow-burn cyberpunk narrative lingering on themes of fame, paranoia, religion, and technology. If you’re a fan of the brooding futures of William Gibson, Blade Runner, or anything with a mood like the movie Drive, I think you’ll find something to love here.

Available exclusively on my website, it comes in limited edition deluxe-hardcover, softcover, and e-book. (And if you’re a vinyl lover, the soundtrack is pressed in 180g Moondust White; also available on my site.)

Welcome to the Dive. Hope to see you around.

i am reading Neuromancer and I’m having trouble figuring out what the appeal is. it is an incredibly popular book, and it has had a massive cultural impact, so i am reluctant to write it off as bad, but also, when I googled it, most reviews were negative. it’s bizarre.

person to person here, what does Neuromancer do so well that people can forgive its surface level warts? all i’m seeing here is warts :/

Honestly, the thing about the stolen RAM chips might be one of my favourite little details in Neuromancer, because it's both the most obviously ridiculous detail to modern audiences, and practically the only thing about computers the text actually gets right. Prior to the price crash of 1996, RAM genuinely was the most expensive component of a desktop computer – like, by an order of magnitude. There really was a thriving black market in stolen RAM chips. This was literally the one thing William Gibson actually knew about computers, and now it's one of the silliest lines in the whole book.
