mmmm gibson (Score 1)

ok, ok my two cents: William Gibson. A few other posts about Gibson, but I'd like to point out that the focus of Gibson is not so much the technology in his story's (which gets these books classified as Sci-Fi), as it is the culture which the technology created. The one difference I've noticed between Gibson and some of the other masters of the field (ie. Asimov) is the level of detail given to the nifty little gadgets. In "Idoru" I almost screamed when the main character gave a passing glance at another characters computer, and didn't give it any more thought. Anywho, My Gibson rant is done, and at the end of the day, the world of the BAMA Sprawl, the Sons of the Neon Chrysanthemum, and the original "consensual hallucination", will always hold the best/worst future for me.
