He ...             The Difference Engine (Spectra Special Editions) William Gibson Spectra, 1992 Very good book This book is a definite landmark book, full of good ideas, but it isn't the wonder everyone seems to think it is. Disjointed storytelling in places, a few sex scenes, a bit draggy in the middle and end, but still an interesting book.             Spook Country William Gibson Berkley Trade, 2008 Conjures Reality I've never read a book by this author that disappointed me. This latest work by him continues his increasingly evolved and highly distinctive style of writing.

At first there is ...             The Miracle Worker William Gibson Scribner, 2008 The miracle worker I chose this book "The miracle worker" because I knew it was going to be about the adventure of Helen Keller and the way she learned to communicate with her hands because she was blind and deaf.

Ace Books/Berkley, 1988 Best Collection For the Genre This is simply a fantastic collection of the best stories of my favorite literary subgenre, the Cyberpunk Movement in the 1980s and early 1990s.
