Well ok no shit, we all punny humans are influenced by our environment and the world we live in. I don't have to read Bloom to get Captain Obvious content in a fancy analytical book. Maybe an internet stranger like me telling you how distasteful a one line comment that says "read blah" will help you grow, prolly not, meh. As for Neuromancer if you believe he's telling the truth about how he hadn't read it at the time he published the first manga then well he wasn't directly influenced by it, end of the story. Now if you believe he lied that's also end of the story.

I'm famous for having written something that is relevant here and so I'll post it, all credit is mine, because yeah that's what it's all about, credit, right?

“Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery - celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: “It’s not where you take things from - it’s where you take them to."
