Hi all... I'm currently researching Gibsons collection of short stories "Burning Chrome"... do any of you have an idea of the chronological order in which...

PR = a low 5 or a high 4 Neuromancer? A strong 9!...
I'd say that's pretty high when most of the qualities of cyberpunk don't seem to be present. The most obvious technology would be in the internet. ... It...

That would be my point exactly... I mean, Gibson has over the course of his first six novels been less and less cyberpunkish... I would go so far as to say...

Hi, My first post, and I think it might be a controversial one... I really like Pattern Recognition. I also really like his 3(and a bit) Sprawl books and the 3...

One thing I'm picking up on my re-reads of his cyberspace books this time around are that, after Neuromancer, his characters spend less and less time in...
Idoru a Bridge Trilogy book? Think I'll have to re-read it for the 4928th time, since I don't recall it being as such. Could be wrong though... usually am. --...
Well.. It would have to be, sitting in between Virtual Light and All Tomorrow's Parties. But you're right... not much bridge in it, since it takes places...

It is indeed a wonderful site, and I've enjoyed it for many years now. I started calling that second trilogy the 'bridge' trilogy pretty much because that's...

Thanks for the link. Great article. But cyberpunk? No. Much more in the tradition of Hunter S. Thompson's gonzo journalism. The sort of lyrically written,...
I'm trying to contact Mr. Gibson. I have an antique gold pocket watch. Would someone give me some information about how can i do? ... Ahora podés usar Yahoo!...
what an antique gold pocket watch has to do with Gibson? isn't the FAQ helpful? ... ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?...
Well, he is a recognized collector and a regular buyer in e-bay. That is what an antique gold pocket watch has to do with Mr. Gibson. . So, can you or someone...
<i>I thought</i> it had to do with the fact that in one of his books there was a kid otaku who was heavy into watches. But I guess I was wrong. Mate, I suggest...
Ehhh Dexter, I think Micheal was implying that the situation was reminiscent of Cyberpunk.. not the writing of the article. I ahve to say i agree whole...
It looks like American politics has spurred Mr. Gibson to start his blog up again: http://www.williamgibsonbooks.com/blog/blog.asp I thoroughly enjoyed his...
I read through his blog and found it kind of boring (like most blogs), as much as I enjoy his fiction I am usually bored with opinions... I have my own and...
hmm... sounds like they could be serious. i bet they'll "punch up" the dramatic bits (gangsters attack!!!) since the novel seemed to actually make a point of...
They'll have to punch it up. Page after page of sitting at a keyboard can work in a novel, but it would be slow death for a movie. The purists will howl that...
"Robin Williams as Parkaboy" is, quite possibly, one of the worst suppositions I've seen. Lots of better-suited (imho) actors out there now who are less spazzy...
Williams has had many many more roles than just Mork and the Genie from Aladin... Good Will Hunting? Dead Poet's Societ? Insomnia? One Hour Photo? What Dreams...
The main characters in PR (as far as I understand) are twenty and thirty somethings. Williams would definitely NOT fall in that category. He's too old for the...
