Gibson blogs
One of my favorite authors, and the coiner of “cyberspace,” is
blogging.
He also has a
new book coming out, and damn, can this guy write or what? This is how the book freaking *opens*:
bq. Five hours’ New York jet lag and Cayce Pollard wakes in Camden Town to the dire and ever-circling wolves of disrupted circadian rhythm.
bq. It is that flat and spectral non-hour, awash in limbic tides, brainstem stirring fitfully, flashing inappropriate reptilian demands for sex, food, sedation, all of the above, and none really an option now.
A departure from the body of work most readers are familiar with, _Pattern Recognition_ takes place in the present, instead of the cyberpunk future Gibson helped build.
Now February cannot get here fast enough…
