w00t!!
William Gibson has long been one of my favorite authors in the cyberpunk genre, leading the charge with Neuromancer and the unbelievably good Burning Chrome and consistently delivering incredibly detailed futures with well formed characters and plots. Unfortunately, it's been a while since he last published. So, it is with great excitement that I learned today, via SlashDot, that he has a new book on the way. Pattern Recognition. Now I'm stoked.
In addition, it looks like he's going to be starting a blog. Maybe there's something about sci-fi/fantasy authors that draws them to the medium?

A ray of hope for me! Faint but there!
I'm hoping to have a blog up next week with a once-a-week short story, usually SF. I'm thinking something on the order of Michael Swanwick's Periodic Chart at SF.
As if....
Gibson got me hooked on cyberpunk, but let's face it: he's been elipsed by Rudy Rucker and especially by Neal Stephenson.
