it has come to my attention that there are people in this world who have never read Neuromancer (William Gibson) before.
This is unacceptable, and I will make it my personal crusade to hunt down these people wherever they may be.
and maybe foist some more books upon them as the opportunity presents itself if they don't react badly to the initial dose of old skool cyberpunk.

You both need to read Quicksilver, then. Its his newest book, the fist book in a trilogy called "The Baroque Cycle."

Its 18th c. Cyberpunk. There's no better way to describe it. Simply brilliant. Of course I'm only about 150 pages into it, after having owned it since it came out three weeks ago but that's not my fault or the book's!

Yes, I do need to get it, but I hate buying hardbacks. They're just so freaking expensive and inconvenient.

I've got all of his others books, and enjoy all of them. his writing style is approximately the greatest ever. :-)

I'm in the exact same boat.
bought it the day it came out, haven't had time to get too far in.
i do think he needs to come up with some new character names, but oh well.
other than that, liking it so far.
