Read first?
01
When to read first
Read the novel first. The game is a loose pass over the same material, and Gibson's sentences will not survive the detour.
02
When playing first is fine
Play first only as a piece of 1988 software history, after the book, or if you already know you will not read it.
03
Why
Loose still shares a plot. The novel is short and the game is dated. Do them in that order.
