Is Virtual Light any good? I missed seeing William Gibson on a book signing in Nottingham, kicked myself pretty hard.

It's not bad at all. I preferred Idoru which is a sort-of sequel. In that it has some of the same characters. All Tomorrow's Parties completes the series. But they aren't really sequels.

They're set in a much closer reality than the far-future of Neuromancer etc. The tech is less hi and more believable. And seems less gratuitous. One thing that annoys me about some Cyberpunk writing is the way the tech adds nothing to the story, just seems to be thrown in as a crowdpleaser.

/me was confused, I thought Virtual Light was the new one.

I've read Idoru, but not the other two from that trilogy.

The stories in Burning Chrome are my absolute favorite things ever.

Isn't Pattern Recognition the newest one?

Helen: I've got an anthology called Posthumanism which I think has the Cyborg Manifesto in, you're welcome to borrow it if it does (or even if it doesn't).
