Yeah, my thought reading Neuromancer too. I'm fine with Clockwork-Orange-esque jargon in prose, but even removing that, Gibson's text still didn't flow in a story-telling (conversational?) way for me. It was too stilted or something.

I suspect talking to Gibson in person probably requires a good deal of studied attention as well. That can be exhausting for an entire novel.
