Just when I was about to lose hope it looks like there is a possibility for some new fiction (at least in eBook form) for the Shadowrun universe. Check out: Spells & Chrome on the Kindle or your Kindle App for your device of choice. I compare shadowrun books to romance novels. They scratch an [&hellip

Who the heck is W.T. Quick and why haven’t I heard of him before?

Enoc September 24, 2010 Authors, Books

Just started reading “Dreams of Flesh and Sand” because it was recommended as being a must read for cyberpunk lovers… Well I concur… written in 1988 – 4 years after Neuromancer – it still has some originality to it and I think it adds a dimension to the concept of the matrix.. I get the [&hellip

Don’t know how I missed this last June, but Barnes and Noble does a series of author/musician reading/playing events and featured Gibson and Wainwright. 71 minutes long and haven’t checked it all out yet, but … facinating to be sure!

Back from the Dead!

Ling December 11, 2008 Authors, Culture, Gadgets

I love how dedicated Gibson fans are. Have seen this site in the past, but it bubbled up again as the 16th anniversary of Agrippa came to pass. Seems they found an ol’ floppy of the self-destructing poem and where able to rejigger it and run it again. And they took a movie of it [&hellip
