You reckon? I enjoyed Pattern Recognition but felt it lacked the complexity of the bridge trilogy, the assemblage theory stuff in there was intense. I reckon his writing style is getting worse though. All tomorrow parties was a mess stylisticly. I can't wait to get me mits on Spook country though...boomnoise wrote:the new gibson - spook country is currently smacking me around the face. gibson's prose is getting better and better; this even tops pr.
@ Stanton well, PR was a stylistic departure for WG but one i thoroughly enjoyed. i do maintain that his prose style is getting more refined. perhaps less beefy and weighted with concept but that doesn't always for a good book make. the consensus at the moment seems to be that a lot of people are enjoying SC a lot less than PR. Let me know what you're saying when you check it out.stanton wrote:You reckon?

I reckon some of the plateaus have to be tackled pretty head on, otherwise they never make sense, but on the whole you're right yeah. Thats the way it was supposed to be read anyhoo!boomnoise wrote:

As for dipping in and out of ATP (Delueze's not Gibson's) - is there another way?!
it's a shame that's not happening really isn't it.stanton wrote:When I was working at Glassworks we used to get William Gibson calling up for Chris Cunningham about Neuromancer when he was staying in London. I answered the phone a few times and to be honest it's the only time i've ever been star struck. He's got a really silly voice too.
Yeah, he lost Chris's script. Although I remember Chris saying that Neuromancer would be hard to make after the Matrix. It's a real shame he's not making Ran Xerox, though how he'd have got a film about a Cyborg made from photocopier parts with a permanent errection who hangs around with a 12 year old smack addicted prostitute past the censors I don't know. We can but dream.boomnoise wrote:it's a shame that's not happening really isn't it.stanton wrote:When I was working at Glassworks we used to get William Gibson calling up for Chris Cunningham about Neuromancer when he was staying in London.

Catch 22 is jolly good, at some point you really get all the characters and it becomes a much more plesant read.frebentos wrote:Totally loved Neuromancer, thoght it was an interesting novel.
Currently reading, " Catch 22 " tough book to read, jsut finished, "American Psycho" now one of my all time favourite novels....
will check out all of these....stanton wrote:
Gibson's Sprawl Trilogy.. Virtual light is aces... Burning Chrome... The Winter Market is one of his best stories I reckon.
My dad never read Catch 22 because of the opening sentence (which is something like "Yossarian fell in love with the chaplain the first time he clapped eyes on him"), thinking it was a book about "bloody queers". I eventually convinced him to read it though, quality book.Catch 22 is jolly good, at some point you really get all the characters and it becomes a much more plesant read.
