		argomo on Sept 1, 2021 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: William Gibson is a literary genius Reamde is basically gun porn (in the same way Seveneves was orbital dynamics porn) with a protracted hostage situation for plot tension and some videogaming/spy craft stuff thrown in for flavor. Not really sci-fi IMO.
