I agree
He seemed to be a one wonder. AFAIread, there seems to be a dispute
about his unpublished work.

He has unpublished work? I know there's the three in the millenium
series, and then books not written by Larsson published after his death.

But he wrote more that we haven't seen yet?

I'm currently doing the Jeffrey Archer Clinton Chronicles.

Naturally I'm going in semi-random order so having read 3 of them
already I'm now reading the first in the series....

What a great book. I think it was the writing style, but I enjoyed that
book, but not Neuromancer. I actually liked the world of Neuromancer
more, but for some reason it had trouble holding my attention.

It's been awhile since I could get into political fiction. I feel like I
get enough of that in real life o.0

Is it much more than that? What do you like about it?

As far as I know, not being swedish speaking, or having contacts in the
country, I remember as story of a dispute

You're probably thinking of his First Amongst Equals which is a 20
year novel of 4 rivals vying for the British Prime Ministership one by
one gradually being eliminated.

The Clifton Chronicles are more 'multi-generational family saga' than
anything else - the two leading characters are two boys who grow up to
be a noted novelist and an industrialist with political ambitions.
Covering pretty much from WW1 to the Margaret Thatcher era.

I tried reading Neuromancer a couple of times, but I just couldn't 'get'
it.

Neuromancer was a great book and in my opinion the computer game based
on it was even better (which was probably the last game I played
before retiring my Apple II - must have been 1990-91 since my youngest
was not yet born)

I didn't know there was a game based on the book. One of my hobbies is
retro-gaming. I will check it out! Thanks

I'm pretty sure the game (as was typical 1989-90) was released in an
Apple II and an IBM-PC game. I >believe< the latter was MS-DOS but
could have been Windows - I didn't switch from the // to Windows till
a couple of years after that and I am fairly sure on the date since I
played it in a house I moved out of in early 1991. (We've had 3
houses, 1 in Toronto, 2 in Vancouver and each of our children was born
in a different house)
