Probably my favourite Gibson short story, I rank this higher than Johny Mnemonic and Burning Chrome, but when it comes to the latter, only just. Largely because there's not much action happening in this one. It's more an elaborate examination of what the cyber era can do to us, taking its sweet time filling you in on everything. I like it when Gibson takes his time. I wish more cyberpunk dealt with the why rather than the what and the how. This is a nuanced look at the genre. Loved it.
