Talk:William Gibson has the juice!/@comment-44870336-20200206032549

William Gibson's style and word usage is definitely different and more realistic, making the reading more personal to me. His use of choice words and slang as well as cussing in the characters  back and forth dialect makes the scene feel more real, almost as if written for film, which I (and potential movie makers) enjoy. Especially if you are going to portray a character who has barely anything to lose and loses it anyways working in the slums, you need this aspect.

I agree that the distance yet closeness the reader feels to Case built into the writing is a bit of genius. This style of writing allows the reader to follow Case, but also pulls you away to other characters so fast that it leaves you wondering what's happening to the main character, and then draws you back in.
