just wondering if it's worth picking up. I'm aware it's about his writing and it's not fiction. also, he's doing a book tour in the states right now. any idea if he's touring Canada?

If your a fan of Gibson pick it up. It has a slew of articles he did for various publications, going back to the 90's, even some speeches he's given. Then added to them are his current reflections. I ripped through them quick. Gibson covering tech for Wired magazine (and others) and seeing how his brain works as a journalist is great.
I just finished it and enjoyed it quite a bit. His articles are not far from his fiction. Being from Argentina, I was specially impressed by his love of Jorge Luis Borges.
I thoroughly enjoyed it. Appreciated some insight into how his mind works, as well as his perspective and commentary on a range of topics. Well worth it, IMO.
