Gibson

[Dave Monroe]

Me, I liked Pattern Recognition.  I liked it a lot,
even if it wasn't as strong as his previous few. 
Virtual Light, Idoru, All Tomorrow's Parties, ever
more interesting, reversing that dip over Count Zero
an Mona Lisa Overdrive.  Though it'd be hard to beat
Neuromancer for its impact on initial publication, at
least.  And Sept. 11th is one of many, many elements
in PR.  Interesting that both WG and Bruce Sterling
(Zeitgeist) have recently set
not-quite/not-quite-not-SF novels in the ostensible
present.  Temporal bandwidth.  But, hey, I gots my SL
on me, so ...
