"Pattern Recognition" is an indicator of a strong future for Wm. Gibson. I find it to be (and here comes that awful phrase) his most mature work to date. Perhaps this is a natural evolution for W.G., or a re-evaluation of what he sees and observes and how these things work their way into his fiction.

The difference engine (co-writen with what's-his-name) is the worst I've read of W.G. As a rule, the writing is very dense and closely-knit. And if anyone's seen the movie made from Johnny Mnemonic. Pure CRAP! (imho) How can a SF movie be so outdated right from the start? Now, I'll have to get me a Copy of pattern recognition...

The thing with Gibson isnt so much the sci-fi, which is really minimal, but the society he envisions, more stratified, econmically, less "haves" and more "have-nots", more security types, information access more restricted. I wonder if he was credited in any way with the TV show Dark Angel, the character in that was almost exactly the girl from Virtual Light, Chevette.

the zona rosa... i wish there were more books from gibson... is there anything new?

Just read Pattern Recognition. Pretty good, kept me turning the opages, just got tired of the relentless brand-naming, hope he was trying to make a point, and it wasn't just product placement.

Shit you guys are all crazy...........queenie who the freek are you and can we be friends? I am a girl don't want to get in the rub a dub tub with you as of yet! I know its a little bit late in the game but what are all of you taking from gibson? the science? the what? gibson started the new-set of science fiction....and that was....well things are fast....and easy to grab....he wrote what he thought these Future (and past)GENERATIONS would grasp.....
he scared the pants out of us and gave us a genetically engineered, or wired up Bruce Willis to deal with)
a genius all the same
because he could picture it
i better give credit to my arguments......."Idoru"
the iconoclasmatic woman
(i think i just made that word up for this medium)
chiseled and shaved
and given voice and everything....
designed
just like us
this is getting boring and i am almost thirty so i know nothing
i say nothing

Neuromancer, Count Zero and Mona Lisa Overdrive ARE a trilogy Called "the trilogy of sprawl" and by the other hand "the trilogy of Yamazaki" Virtual Light, Idoru and All Tomorrow's Parties.
