I'm shocked, shocked to see all this science fiction!

And I think it might explain why this blog is so much more perceptive than most of the other stuff out there.

In fact, it was an entry on William Gibson's blog years ago that first took me to this site, and I've been a regular reader ever since.

I'm currently in the middle of "Schismatrix Plus" by Bruce Sterling, which captures the complexity and weirdness of real history more than some real histories that I've read.

And I just bought the CV Wedgewood after being charmed by the first few pages. Can't wait to read it.
