I will be, as soon as my copy arrives. The release date listed by Amazon
is next Tuesday, August 7.
Nice review, though. Thanks for the link. I must admit I too found
'Pattern Recognition' more than a little Pynchonesque and have similar
hopes for 'Spook Country'. I feel that Gibson is one of a very few
contemporary authors who continues to raise his own bar. His prose, and
more importantly the depth of his ideas, seems to improve with each new
work even though he's been at it for almost 25 years now.
Regards,
Brent
