I could never get into those books, but I did appreciate the concept. Gibson's writing was never that exciting to me, seemed...overworked somehow. My favorite in that genre is Snow Crash.
Yeah I got into scifi through Arthur C Clarke, and compared to hard scifi cyberpunk can seem weird. It's taken me 15 years to learn to accept it for what it is and not judge it by the standards of other sub-genres. Have you read Pattern Recognition? I think it's Gibson's best work. (And serendipitously enough it prominently features Klein blue.)

Yeah, I can understand that. I love Neuromancer, and like the other two books in the sprawl series, but after that Gibson really falls off for me. I like Stephenson better overall.
