Fwd: Élan



Sadly, I think I have read my last Gibson novel. Zero History just... wandered. I liked parts but skipped large sections. I read PatternRecognition a number of times and Spook Country twice but feel no draw to re-reading ZH. I saw the designer 'twist' coming a mile away but do have to say I was pleased with all the ambiguity in the characters but not the plot. I've read worse, believe me, but left the book unexcited to read Gibson again.

Another fact...

Bruce Schneier can crack a one-time pad before it's used.

It's a fact.

Bruce Schneier doesn't use an IDE, or even a text editor, he uses an AK47 and a punch card.
