If it works that’ll be fantastic, though I imagine always working quickly in all circumstances is a tough order to deliver on.

Yes, I definitely would. If you liked Neuromancer, I think you'll find it's very much of the same mold. If I were to be highly critical I would say it drags a little in the middle, but overall I highly enjoyed it.

One area in which it differs from other cyberpunk novels is that the main characters are all gay or lesbian and the novel strongly reflects how the gay experience was felt when it was written in '94.

I’m kind of leaning on recency bias, but I feel like ‘Trouble and her Friends’ was pretty punk, both in terms of the character’s style and the fact that the principals are very explicit outsiders.

I’ll definitely second this, it’s a lot of fun and gave me some fun nostalgic feelings.
