I was appalled and embarrassed when I walked into the library yesterday and saw on the display table by the front door Spook City, the new novel by William Gibson.
That the patron saint has a new novel and I didn't know six weeks in advance represents a massive failure of my personal intelligence networks. I'm mentioning it here so other dumpshockers aren't caught similarly unaware. It's setting is contemporary, but the early 21st century is as cyberpunk as the dreams of the 1980s ever were. |
