Distrust That Particular Flavor

Title: Distrust That Particular Flavor
Author: William Gibson
Publisher: Putnam
Year: 2012
272 pages

Essays, with afterwords, on a pretty good range of topics. There are some fun ideas, but the best reason to read this collection is Gibson’s quirky and pleasing language. After reading this I’m more likely to re-read some of his post-Sprawl novels, many of which have struck me as similar to leafing through a Williams-Sonoma catalogue while waiting for a plot to arrive.
