How UPS got William Gibson’s Spook Country to me:

West Sacramento, CA -> Mather, CA -> Louisville, KY -> Poughkeepsie, NY -> Newark, NJ -> Philadelphia, PA -> Stratford, CT -> Windsor Locks, CT -> Watertown, MA -> Arlington, MA

(this took three days, instead of Amazon Prime’s promised two)

WTF, UPS? Time to lay off the sauce, eh?

    UPS Sucks. All my boxes delivered by UPS look like they were drop kicked down 3 flights of stairs.

    Post a review when you get a chance….i am sure you will finish it quicker than it took to reach its destination! For all interested William Gibson is going to be in my hood on August 20th at the Coolidge Corner theater.

    Rob! I owe you an email (and accompanying apology)! Soon!

    I read the book same day - it was good (but very Gibsonian - minimalist, recycled tropes and tidbits, etc), and I’ll try to post a review, but won’t have time for a week or two.

    Yes, Dan drop me an email when you get a chance. It would be great to hear from you. You were ahead of your time with Gibson….reading his stuff 20 years ago!

    I am more into his newer stuff myself…and loved Pattern Recognition….and thus this new book is much to my liking so far!
