  The Book Baton (Books of Importance To Me) 1. Total Number of Books You Own Man. I’m not even sure. Before we moved I had many hundreds I think. We gave away to Goodwill many of our books. And how do I count graphic novels, of which I have many? Let’s say I have 200, plus minus. And since I’m married, do I...

  Bruce Sterling ArtLung Timeline 1988: I attend a reading by William Gibson for Mona Lisa Overdrive.

  Some Quickies Strictly speaking I don’t have any time to write, have to get ready for work. But i want to write some things quick-like. The radio was really great.

Nice UPS turnaround. I’ll...

  Surveillance State The surveillance state is beginning. 1984 is no longer the relevant text. We need to look to how information flows in Cyberpunk novels like those of William Gibson and Bruce Sterling. Where having surveillance and databases out there in the aether don’t necessarily make anyone safer or happier or more secure. We must think carefully...

  Keeping a journal is a responsibility Keeping a journal is a responsibility, once you start it. But what does one do when there is precious little to share? I’m in transition now. Lots of irons in the fire. Things on my mind. Other people have things about to happen as well. The new Bruce Sterling interview in Locus indicates a new...

  Another reason why I idolize William Gibson: Another reason why I idolize William Gibson: I can’t get the phrase “Venice decompressed” out of my head. The phrase is in the book Idoru. I’ve been listening to the audio book version on my short commute. Venice decompressed.
