Reading this over coffee and flicking through "Behold the Pale Horse" while William Gibson "strange cargo" plays in the background .. I can still smell the sage of the Bay Area bookshops where this was a staple. I just checked however, and do already have a .PDF. How can one not have bumped into FNORD in this day and age ..
