Thanks for connecting, Christine. Don Lafferty tells me you're a writer. I hope we see you at one of our coffee houses sometime soon.

Make you a deal: I read Neuromancer (which I'd like to do anyway), except after I finish The War of Art (which as of this writing is on its way). In return, you look into reading The War of Art also. I think you'll find it really hard-hitting and helpful.

I liked Sway (4/5, iirc) and recommended Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion, a more comprehensive classic on the same subject.

I liked your review of Sway, which I also read.
