I know the feeling; Charlie Gere on Sci Fi novelist William Gibson...

'Part of Gibson's brilliance is the reticence with which he articulates such concepts. In this he lets his ignorance of computing work to his advantage. Neuromancer was famously written on a manual typewriter, and it is clear that Gibson is uninterested in the practicalities of what actually might be possible.'
Charlie Gere, Digital Culture (2002) p187
