Strange Days

Nah, I haven’t read it either.

Don’t tell Paul Revere!

Someone should just write one crossover book that wraps up both series.

Well, now I’ve got Keep on rocking in the free world stuck in my head.

When it grows back… does it shnikkt?

“Later, as he sat on his balcony eating the dog, Dr Robert Laing reflected on the unusual events that had taken place within this huge apartment building during the previous three months”

Exceptionally well put! Wank on!

The thing I find about Gibson is that his books have some of the finest production design of any author I know of. It’s a weird thing to consider in a novel, but there is such work put into that particular level of his books that nobody else gets close to.

The care and attention to detail in the worldbuilding is done with such elegant touches, sometimes barely a phrase, but in such specificity that it gives the reader so much information.

Exposition? Nah, you just gotta pay attention and catch things as they come.

The drop off in quality between the pilot and the rest of the episodes was a cliff.

It’s actually two grim futures.

Or just good writing and directing. That absolutely can be told visually.

This is the legacy sequel we need.
