I have been told twice in the last two weeks by book store personnel that William Gibson's next novel is due out in March. One clerk told me that the title was "Mona Lisa Overdrive", which agrees with a cyberpunk article that appeared in Spin magazine a year or two ago. This news has caused me great excitement and palpitation. I have been watching Locus & SF Chronicle for mention of news like this. I only recall seeing statements about his screenplay work. Anyway, can anyone confirm or deny? Does it continue "Neuromancer" and "Count Zero"? Most importantly, does the Finn still live? Greg Pickle ..!ihnp4!inuxc!pickle ..!iuvax!inuxc!pickle

Well, when you get your March 88 issue of Locus, you will see in the People&Publishing column: WILLIAM GIBSON has turned in Mona Lisa Overdrive to Bantam. The British edition from Gollancz, scheduled for April, will precede the U.S. edition, scheduled for November. My understanding is that the Concordes are already booked solid for the month of April and that the Louvre is going to send the Mona Lisa on tour as part of the promo -- oops, wrong reality. --- BOB (webber@athos.rutgers.edu ; rutgers!athos.rutgers.edu!webber)
