too many great lines to quote. sure its derivative... its a film noir giallo buillabais full of MSG and PI cliches but absolutely superb ... full of ideas and invention and obvious love of the genre. best thing ive read here since ...well several weeks but theres some great stuff here. superlatives have run out.
Gibson's “Neuromancer” is one of my all-time favorite books and was the spark for my cyberpunk addiction in the early 2000's. “No Dogs in Philly,” is bringing me back, man, plucking some familiar strings in all the right ways. I'm loving the characters already and you're killing it with some nicely layered world building. Really fantastic, Andy. Eager to keep reading.
This is off to a great start, both cyberpunky and noir-ish in equal measures. It has both flashy futurism and realistic grit. The elzis seem very plausible these days with the tranq epidemic.
Well, I had resolved to stop signing up on new Substacks, because I'm already getting maxed out on reading time, and then I find this. You got me, hook, line, and sinker. Thank you for posting this, now I need to catch up. 😁
What is most enjoyable is the _way_ it's written. Although a lot comes at the reader, and fast, it’s tight with excellent sentence structure. And the chapter ends well. My 2ç for what it’s worth 😅🥹

Thank you 🙏.
This is like if WIlliam Gibson and Tom Wolfe had a baby.
Very nicely done!
Many thanks 🙏
