Who else has read all of William Gibson's novels and short stories? I read them all about 15 years while high on amphetamines.
My first introduction to his world was the film version of Johnny Mnemonic which was my favorite movie when it came out. I was like 10 years old. The soundtrack introduced me to a couple of my favorite bands kmfdm and Henry Rollins.
The book Neuromancer changed my life.
Anyway, my theory is that Gibson used to use a whole lot of drugs. His first few books, the sprawl series, heavily features the use of all kinds of drugs.
My cousin used to work at Microsoft and they had an on campus book signing that he met him at. He said he was sloppy.
In his newer novels one of the characters lost 10 years of memory due use of benzos. I wondered if Gibson didn't lose ten years for that reason too.
He did quit writing for a longtime and I find the style of his newer books to be slightly different.
