Fun fact: 80s cartoon/toy commercial The Centurions did an episode called "Zone Dancer" which was a colossal ripoff of all things Gibson: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xz8g26_centurions-41-zone-dancer_shortfilms

doctorfrog posted:Yeah, I agree, and that forms a large part of my dissatisfaction. A huge whirlwind of buildup, and an ending shrouded in fog. I wouldn't say it's bad, but I would have wanted more to grasp onto. A bit worse than "wanting more" at the end of the novel, I felt like I worked for more than this. Gibson sort of addressed the vagueness of the ending in an interview on Ain't It Cool News, of all places: William Gibson posted:For me, I'm pretty sure the way I use nanotechnology in these novels actually BUGS the real nanotechnologist to no end. They'd probably be inclined to dismiss me as sort of willfully lightweight about the whole thing. But when you've got somebody promising you a technology that will make everyone immortal and abolish the very concept of wealth, I just kind of throw up my hands and say, "You win -- I can't imagine that." You know -- "There's no work for me here."
