CYBERPUNK

I have started reading William Gibson.

Somewhere I read that he is the natural (or un-natural) next thing to read after a thorough drubbing by Neal Stephenson.

I think I have been at NS for about a year now. The best of his work was Cryptonomicon and the Three Volume Baroque Cycle. I still have not read everything. There is some stuff he refers to as juvenalia.

To get my feet wet with Gibson, I am reading Neuromancer which, so far. is pretty good. I guess that means I will have to read all his stuff. Another year.

The first line: "The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel".
