April 2019---Burning Chrome-works of Willliam Gibson

[Maggie, space cruisin' for a bruisin']

I KNOW I bought this book. But, i did not put it into my spreadsheet, and so it is lost in the blackhole that is my library system!

I am actively hunting though, so I hope to start in the next few days.

Who else is joining in?
What did you think?

I read this a few years back. Like any collection of short stories, some are stronger than others, but there are some real gems here.

I love William Gibson's cyberpunk books. This was the first time I had read any of his short stories, and it was really interesting to see him developing his themes in these stories. I wasn't as fond of the Soviets in space stories, although Red Star, Winter Orbit really highlighted the plight of Korolev; I liked the twist at the end. My favorite stories were The Belonging Kind, The Winter Market, and of course Burning Chrome, which went in the direction that I love in Gibson's work.
