Bleeding Edge is on Amazon

[Tyler Wilson]

He knows exactly what the blurb makes the book seem to be. I mean “channeling his inner Jewish mother”?..., come on. Our collective cringe was anticipated. And he had this posted on April 1 for a reason. It *is* a joke.  But it’s also actually representative of plot details and ideas that we’ll encounter in the published book. Both/and. One could so easily write just as bad or worse descriptions of every single one of his works of art, and every one of them would be representative in its way. The map is not the territory. He is trusting us to remember that.
 
Blogging may not have been mainstream in 2000, but there were folks doing it, and that is really all he needs to run with it where he may.

she works (ed) as a fraud investigator as the blurb notes. the blurb makes her out to be a pattern recognition-era-william gibson/girl with dragon tattoo heroine type (but with kids)

were blogs on the radar in 2000-2001?. pynchon mentions it in the blurb. the dot bust happened in early 2000--so we can assume the action takes place from say mar 00-to Sep 01

Question for all: why do you think this is a detective tale? I mean, I get there're precursors - Basnight, Sportello, recently - but why?
