William Gibson

Recommended Posts

anyone read much by this guy? He's a cyberpunk writer who, in his first novel, managed to invent cyberspace, the internet, reality tv and a whole slew of themes in sci fi ever since.

 

he is clearly a massive G.

 

so yeah, any fans?

I've only read that and All Tomorrows Parties. Think I'll buy myself more of the sprawl trilogy though, the other two sound ace as cakes.

I keep meaning to read Neuromancer, my sister loves that book, but I always forget about it and am usually half way through something else!

you should make time for it. I just read through it in 3 days so it's not a hard book to get through and the language is utterly brilliant. All his similes and metaphors are based on technology etc and it just paints such a vivid expression of his world. Quality stuff.
