This... is fucking brilliant! I could never pass up reading some your writing but, I'm ashamed to say, I hesitated a little with this one because I've never read any Gibson - well, only a smattering of excepts in classes at school, which I've loved, but for some reason never remembered to look up at the bookshop... anyway! I must now! Though I can imagine I'll be bitterly disappointed when your Kovacs and Dan and Miss Isham aren't in it.

So, I guess I'm saying this is awesome even without a through knowledge of the cross-over material - which just makes it even more incredible - because your little world here is gritty, and sensual, and I was drowning in it almost instantly, and all the body-mod work makes me vaguely nauseous in that really lovely way that reading China Mieville does, and I should just shut the hell up and get on to the next chapter!

I'm so glad you're enjoying this - and definitely recommend William Gibson. There are no Dreiberg or Kovacs equivalents in Neuromancer, but there is Molly Millions, who's a lot like a hard-assed version of Laurie :) Some of his later stuff is better, especially the epic Difference Engine which might be the first steampunk novel.
