I'm a big fan of William Gibson's work, despite my love affair with Pattern Recognition lasting about 100 pages. I have a 10(or so)-year-old copy of Neuromancer that my Mom sent to me when I first moved to Japan in 1993. I read it on the train, going to and from Namba, Umeda, and Dotonboribashi. I felt like a character in that book. Unlike many people, I really enjoyed the Virtual Light series, probably because Gibson said he wanted to try something different, like Elmore Leonard doing SF. Boo ya; it rips. So, yeah, so what if Pattern Recognition's ending is the sort of anticlimax commonly experienced when finishing a candy bar? It was tasty enough.
So I was excited as a cat with a ball of string to find that he has a weblog, with an RSS feed. Seeing as I only just started messing around with RSS in the last three or four weeks, it is with my typical late-to-the-ball timing that I greeted the news that today's post would be his last.
Laika, come home!
