Immediately, Gibson draws us into an established world, and immediately assaults us with Jargon and it is only through my already-destroyed innocense or modern-day media literacy (thanks to a lot of IP's influenced by Neuromancer) that I know what the Matrix is supposed to be, what the nature of the contraband is that he MC deals in is, or that he's high on speed. I would have been so lost had I read this in 1984.
