There are not too many writers who’s new books I’ll buy sight-unseen. One of those who fall into this category is William Gibson. Anytime I’m in a bookshop, like some compulsive disorder, I usually find myself checking out the G’s in the sci-fi section just in case he’s released a new book without me hearing about it (I found that Pattern Recognition had been released this way, but it’s a losing proposition, as you are investing hundreds of fruitless searches for that rare OMFG! moment).

Anyway, this morning Amazon’s front page was recommending I pre-order Spook Country, which they are showing is to be published on August 7th. Yay!

I also then found this interview\promo video\thingy on YouTube.

Only a couple of months to go! The problem is reading a new Gibson book invariably drives me down a path of re-reading a bunch of his other books, and my reading pile is teetering precariously as it is.
