A few weeks ago, I had a post on William Gibson<\/strong> <\/a>and in the course of the post, solicited reader opinions on Gibson. This sparked a lively discussion and many recommendations for further sci-fi reading in the comments section.<\/p>\n The other night, Mrs. Zenpundit<\/strong> had a surprise gathering for me, to honor the annual increase in my age, at one of the better local restaurants. One of the frequent lurkers here, “Dona Julia<\/strong>” and her husband “The Brown Guitar<\/strong>“, had read the post and comments and, as a result, presented me with copies of:<\/p>\n All Tomorrow’s Parties <\/a> A rare instance of life imitating the blogosphere.
