Comment Gibson was good when none of this stuff was real.. (Score 1) 279
the excerpt from his new book reads like somebody's (anybody's) blog.
Neuromancer worked because it was about a future that didn't (yet) exist, and ironically the book molded much of what now exists. Pattern Recognition is apparently telling me about things (Macs, Hotmail, 501s) that I already have, and the characters don't seem all that interesting. Anybody can write this book.
