crumbz writes "It looks like the grand master of cyberpunk has a new novel coming out entitled Pattern Recognition. Apparently, reviewer copies have been making the rounds on ebay and the word on the street is that it is his best work in years."

    Hang on: "word on the street is that it is his best work in years." It's his only work in years, since '99 I believe. If people are going to write books, especially totally awesome rad books like Gibsons are, they could at least have the decency to write MORE, instead of making us wait so long, the bastards.

    Something to read while awaiting the next Neal Stephenson book. Except that the next Neal book is going to be about some crappy period hundreds of years ago when everything sucked.

    but somehow I doubt any future production will top the Matrix prequel and sequel.

    Mind if I borrow your time machine? New Years eve was pretty fun. I'd like to do that again.
