@literorrery nice! I especially liked Burning Chrome, cuz it predates Neuromancer but wasn't that a short story? 👍🏿

@Gotterdammerung It's the titular short in a collection that includes Hinterlands and Fragments of a Hologram Rose, which are two of my favorite Gibson short stories.

@Voltaire14 I liked his brand of American existentialism, even if it was strictly literary rather than intentionally academic
