I concur ! i've read the sprawl series so many times it's becoming a joke,
however, I do now have a superb battered copy of neuromancer that I'll never
give up. I don't know what to think of 'Pattern Recognition' certainly I
don't rate it as highly as his earlier work.

Also, you're right, newsnet has degenerated into a seething morass of viagra
and penis enlargement posts, and it is a shame to see a once marvellous
thing end up like this.
