This excerpt is as thick as
Christmas Pudding.Bill Gibson is over rated
-Five hours' New York jet lag and Cayce Pollard wakes in Camden Town to the dire and ever-circling wolves of disrupted circadian rhythm.
It is that flat and spectral non-hour, awash in limbic tides, brainstem stirring fitfully, flashing inappropriate reptilian demands for sex, food, sedation, all of the above, and none really an option now.
Not even food, as Damien's new kitchen is as devoid of edible content as its designers' display windows in Camden High Street. Very handsome, the upper cabinets faced in canary-yellow laminate, the lower with lacquered, unstained apple-ply. Very clean and almost entirely empty, save for a carton containing two dry pucks of Weetabix and some loose packets of herbal tea. Nothing at all in the German fridge, so new that its interior smells only of cold and long-chain monomers.

i heard Cunningham had plans to make a film out of Neuromancer... but the collaboration between Gibson and Cunningham was too slow/inefficient__
so I believe they canceled the plans__

gibson is a great writer. wrote neuromancer on a manual typewriter...ill imagination for the time. last good book i read by him was All Tomorrows Parties, sort of an emotional book about wireless technology or something.....japanese men living in heating ducts.....
