Anyway, rumours about the Neuromancer movie are still popping up and making me feel scared instead of excited; After Neuromancer, I decided to look for more of Gibson´s works, but couldn´t find much at a reasonable price, since I live in Brazil. Being one of my favorite books, I´m afraid it´s big screen version might ruin all the excitement about his work that wasn´t already ruined after The All Tomorrow´s Parties.

BTW, man, is it hard to find Cyberpunk literature in this country. Those which were translated to Portuguese are way too expensive, and those in English are simply impossible to find, except if you import them for specific stores. I wish I could walk by a $4 Gibson one of these days.

Great post, really enjoyed it.

He inscribes each one with, “From Andy, to whoever will read it.”

Somehow I ended up with a copy. It’s on the list…

He’s not as fussy a stylist, but I’d prefer to read the speculations of his confrere Bruce Sterling these days–much more to chew on.

What once Gibson seemed prophetic, now he seems obvious, partly because his ideas have been so widely deseminated in the culture at large.
