I hope that it will be clear from what I write here, and how I write it, but just in case there is any question I would like to state for the record that I am a great fan of William Gibson and of all his written works. Certainly, I like some of his stories better than others, but I do like them all. Immensely.
This project is in no way intended to be critical of the author or of his work. It is simply a record of the interesting patterns, juxtapositions, self-references (intentional or otherwise) and recurrent themes that have struck me over the course of many readings.
Also, I will probably use this space to try to answer some of the questions that Gibson invariable generates, especially in his more recent works. Case (no pun) in point; the question of the 'black-faced watches' reference in Zero History - I can't be the only person driven to distraction by that odd little offhand sentence. Juju indeed.
Anyway, this project is mostly for me, a place to document and organize, but if you get something out of it as well, so much the better.
