in memoriam: Hunter S. Thompson (Jul 18, 1937–Feb 20, 2005) #WritingCommunity #WritingAndBooks #HunterThompson "One day you just don't appear at the El Adobe bar anymore; you shut the door, paint the windows black, rent an electric typewriter and become the monster you always were - the writer."

the Medusa scene was the best in CoT

So many great scenes, like this one with Will Sampson as Ten Bears.

Now reading: The Difference Engine, by William Gibson and Bruce Sterling. Published in 1990 and set in Victorian England, it was the book that spawned the steampunk genre. #WritingCommunity #WritingAndBooks #WilliamGibson #BruceSterling #TheDifferenceEngine

Now re-reading: Idoru by William Gibson. The second book of his Bridge Trilogy. Published in 1996, the story contains uncannily accurate insights on the impacts of Artificial Intelligence. #WritingCommunity #WritingAndBooks #WilliamGibson #Idoru
