Man -- so much hype at the time of release ... and then nothing.

Just no love for Spook Country? Has he really transcended SciFi into the speculative mainstream? Cause he was certainly on a lot of best-seller lists there for awhile, something like 7 weeks on the NY Times list?

man, gotta luv william gibson!
