I meant to mention "Burning Chrome", and how much I liked it, but I couldn't remember its name!
Thanks! It's here in one of my bookcases somewhere. I have to agree with your husband: "Neuromancer" may be the best sci-fi book I've ever read. It just plunges you pell-mell into such a fully realized world. It was Gibson's first novel, and I really don't think he's matched it since. So let me guess: Is your husband's online handle "Case"? If I were a woman, I'd certainly go by the name of my favorite recurring Gibson character, the mercenary Molly Millions. Still, these days I think nanotech is where it's at, and the cyber-age that Gibson predicted is so fully under way that some of his subsequent stuff seems a little bit dated at this point. Come to think of it, I may give "The Diamond Age" another spin myself. :) Atticus
