Max LeibmanIf you enjoy Gibsonia in general, and particularly if (like me) you are deeply, unhealthily devoted to William Gibson's Blue Ant trilogy, then I recommend @BlueAntAgency.
3Jane Tessier Ashpool@maxleibman @BlueAntAgency yessss thanks!
@maxleibman @BlueAntAgency I love those books and it’s hard to explain why. Because they’re cool? I have a variety of outfits I think of as CPUs.
@3janeTA @BlueAntAgency I wear a fair amount of color, but I have purchased and worn extremely few things with patterns, logos, or imprints of any kind in the last 23 years, and I have to assume Pattern Recognition is to blame. (I don’t grind the logo off the buttons on my jeans, but I do have a seam-ripper to take the leather tags off.)
@3janeTA @BlueAntAgency And I love the books, too. 😁

@TheBreadmonkey I think retreading old paths isn’t a problem. I wouldn’t stop seeking new things, but there’s something to be said for going deep on something rather than broad. There are three William Gibson novels (the Blue Ant Trilogy) that I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve read. Probably around 30. Counting audiobook re-listens, over 40. Each. There are things I know about those books that some of Gibson’s biggest fans don’t know. Fuck, at this point, there are things I know about those books that GIBSON doesn’t know. I’ve lived in that world in a way a much broader and restless reader has never lived in any literary world. I think there’s value in that.
@maxleibman @BlueAntAgency yep. I’m no one’s billboard.
Lee Hauser@maxleibman @BlueAntAgency The Blue Ant books are my favorite Gibson books, which is saying a lot because I love everything he's written (except for that unpleasant business with Bruce Sterling, can't remember the title right now...)
