SEQUELS!
From the looks of things, it seems William Gibson is setting to outdo his last two novels. Wow.
Excerpts he posts while still writing the whole are all I have to go on for that theory, but this one just blew me away too much for me to think otherwise. Nailed my subconscious creative side ker-smack! and I was off.
Unlike most authors I've heard opinions of, when I am in a reading-mood, then often creativity springs from that. This is instead of terror I've often heard about. Well, trepidation anyways, or at least slight hesitance to read things for fear of becoming a plagarist. Thinking on that, perhaps I should worry about this more - maybe I'm secretly-even-to-my-own-self of the terrible sinfully "old school" that "if you steal from enough people in small enough pieces, isn't that another word for original?"
Anyways, enough of that.

”Reg is quite the model of the successful bohemian, isn’t he?”
“I suppose he is.”
“He’s always working on something, Reg. Always. Always something new.” He looked at her, across the heavy silver pots. “Are you?”
And he had her, then, she knew. Looking straight into her. “No,” she said, there being nothing else really to say.
“You should be,” he said. “The secret, of course, is that it doesn’t really matter what it is.”
