William Gibson: How I wrote Neuromancer
Neuromancer was amazing.  I realize now that Gibson's books monotonically decreased in quality.<p>The books have gotten thicker, artier, more self-indulgent, and weaker.<p>I'm sure he'd like to recapture the magic he had at 34, but maybe it requires the fear he spoke of.  And an absolute ignorance about computers and networks.<p>I think it shares more with The Maltese Falcon than with any SciFi.<p>Saw WG complaining about GamerGate recently and thought how much he's aged, and how ungracefully, since GG and Operation Disrespectful Nod reminded me of the Panther Moderns.
