>bigger, more corrupt, and dirtier than any of them could have imagined

I don't know, to me it just sounds sort of lame; Like when you watch a trailer to a movie and the whole plot reveals itself to you because of all the same old tropes.

I'll wait until some of you others have read it and give OP the discussion he wants.

>>23887

I'm a slow reader, ok?

>>23915

Keep in mind those things aren't written by the author, but by someone who first chose to be a writer, and then couldn't find work better than describing the work of other, more talented people.

>>23927

Oh I know, I'm just saying the premise of it, you know, deadly assassin slash secret spy slash intelligent detective and two(?) others form a quirky group against a grand conspiracy.

>>23927

…or it could have been written by some guy at an advertising agency with half a brain who doesn't give a shit.

GOAT indeed.

it felt like a clone of Peter Watts but with less science. The fact that there was only the audiobook in your torrent doesn't help.

>>24077

IDK what you mean. There's three crucial differences between TWK and Peter Watts;

1) The characters are actual people and not weirdo ciphers who speak in sciencetalk with no personality

2) It's not relentlessly grim

and most importantly

3) The stakes aren't end of the universe big idea shit, which is what Peter Watts loves

Reading through Echopraxia at the moment. Thinking lewd thoughts of the female vampire for some reason.

Does anyone have an epub instead of an audiobook? I prefer reading to listening.

thanks for the link anon

Bump for something actually happening on /cyber/. Thanks.

Almost done binge-reading Blindsight.

I think this book is best enjoyed when depressed.

>>23812

It was literally the same than the windup girl

>enforcer-type guy posing as something else while working for some shadow company run by a bossy bitch

>abandoned girl

>a more hardened bitch with "a mission", just that this time its a reporter instead of a cop

The ending for that book was meh and kind of anticlimatic, then he went and made 2 books in the same world but with several continuity errors

Overall I don't like authors who don't know how to avoid loose ends and then go back there and pretend the reader wont notice

Not bad, but the major plot points turn out to make no sense.

>there's two guys in the next room

>I'll just call out and let them draw

>these are priceless documents

>I'll just give them to the first girl I meet

>there's that guy we're supposed to be shooting

>let's just spray and pray

>my best man was the last one to possibly get to the papers

>no one else could have gotten to them first

finished the audiobook last week, i thought it was really good, never read any of his other books before.

>>25672

point 1: i agree shoulda shot em both

point 2: he didnt know anything was in the book

>>23812

Just downloaded it. Looking forward to a good book. But there's no fucking way this can be better than Blindsight.

>there are people ITT right now that didn't read Richard K Morgan

>>31019

Are there illustrations of the world or that's the only one?

>>34795

I FUCKED THE BITCH

THEN I HAD SEX CUZ IM A REAL MAN

GET TO THE NEXT SCREEN

Yeah, nah

>>34796

There's a few other illustrations in magazines and such

Are Peter Watts other books worth reading? I finished the Rifters trilogy. I really liked the first book a lot, the second was a bit of a drag and the last one was a bit better but also a bit of a mess.

Blindsight is one of the greatest SF novels ever written
