Recently I had a hankering to read books that came out eons ago, more specifically books by William Gibson. I started with and am presently engrossed in Neuromancer, a book that, as GlazednConfused points out, makes Gibson appear to be a modern day Nostradomus. Simple put, the book fore tells the direction we are going and is THE source for most modern day techno babble, stories, movies and technologies. In a way it is scary how much impact this book, albeit unknowingly to most of us, had on our society as a whole.

Turns out that Hollywood has decided that they need to make a movie out of the book that started most of their successful forays into the science fiction world. Irony shows her ugly mugg yet again. Not sure I like their choice of actor in Hayden Christensen as the lead role of Case, but hey who am I to judge?

If you are trying to figure out what to read next try Neuromancer, you will not be disappointed. After that I will be reading another Gibson book called Burning Chrome, which is a collection of short stories. I’ve read that one before and was hooked.
