I don't remember the details, but it predates Neuromancer. William Gibson wrote three stories with the near-future world that was later the setting for _Neuromancer_ and _Count Zero_. Omni published ``Johnny Mnemonic'', ``New Rose Hotel'', and ``Burning Chrome'' in 1981, 1982, and 1985 respectively. The title of the last is also the title of a collection of short stories by William Gibson, the Ace paperback (ISBN 0-441-08934-8) published this month, October of 1987. _Burning Chrome_ is a good introduction for those unfamiliar with William Gibson's work. The three stories set in the Sprawl are especially interesting if you've read _Neuromancer_ and _Count Zero_. -- Robert Garvey uucp: ucbvax!mtxinu!blia!garvey or {pyramid|voder}!blia!garvey arpa: mtxinu!blia!blic!garvey@Berkeley.EDU Anything related to an opinion may be attributed to me alone.
