I like the way these go on long enough to really cover the topic, without getting (too) repetitive or drifting off into tangents where no one has tangented before. Not that I’m going to read the book. I read Neuromancer long after it was published and so missed the hype and the hoopla that surrounded it—after you’ve seen Max Headroom, what’s so great about cyberspace?

The IMDB says that this is now in development and will probably be filmed in Florida for tax purposes, so perhaps there’s a part in it for Drs King and Tillman. Look at all those contacts you’ve made through teaching them!

I have drifted off the point, which I’ve now forgotten, but a good episode, anyway.
