I think Herbert is much better at this than Gibson. Gibson also uses proper names for everyday objects that severely date the material (ie: Porsche sunglasses ), which has the same effect. I guess we should be glad that he didn't give

The thing you find irritating is actually a strength of his writing, not a fault. Imagine if he had been more particular about the tech behind VR, how poorly would the writing have aged then? Instead he chose a set of workable metaphors to

The core of the Citizens United decision was that becoming a member of a group (ie: Corporation) did not abrogate individual rights. The implication is that groups of people have the exact same rights as individuals. I think there needs to

Anonymous to my friends and no one else? I guess I don't get the use case, as I would generally think anonymity from people I already am acquainted with would be the least useful (to me). It really seems like there is an entire class o
