William Gibson is still alive - see website. If you can, buy the book there to give him more money.

personally I prefer to use a digital, DRM free format, read it on whatever device I can and then find a way to donate to the Author. Thanks for the link to his website though, there are some good discussion notes on there as well.

Are we going use Google Hangouts or something like Gitter for the discussion? IRC?

Richard Littauer · Answer 10 · Mon Mar 06 2017 05:01:37 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Hey! Oh man, dropping the ball here. Gitter makes a lot of sense! Let's open one and move there. Should keep chatter out of this channel.

Awesome, full disclosure I'm finishing the book tonight. I'll jump on once I'm done to avoid spoilers.

Richard Littauer · Answer 13 · Wed Mar 08 2017 23:03:58 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

We've read (or mostly (or a tiny bit)) this. We discussed it on Gitter. Closing this. \o/
