I recently read this book for the first time. It seemed innocuous, and I thought I just didn't "get" it until I found out it was written 30 years ago. Gibson predicted our lives so well, and has been emulated so often by other sci-fi writers that it just seemed like a good - if a little bit derivative - sci-fi novel. But Gibson is (along with Dick and Asimov), the one being derived FROM.
This concept fascinates me.
