Still can’t get over how good this is…

I told you I was getting the Multinauts pin! Best mail day in ages.
“I’m surprised Gibson is seen as a highly masculine writer, given the focus on fashion and the consistently romantic plots. Yes, there’s hot RAM (the fact that people are trading RAM in megabytes in the “future” is one of very few details that date the novel), a military outfit called Screaming Fist and simstim consoles. But there’s also the uber-cool razorgirl Molly, kicking ass in her “cherry red cowboy boots”. Gibson’s prose style is in the tradition of Chekhov, Carver, Chandler, Burroughs and Hemingway. Lots of verbs, lots of nouns – things – as opposed to feelings, over-explanation and exposition. Before I began writing The End of Mr Y, I put three books on my desk as lucky charms, and this was one of them. My novel isn’t cyberpunk, but I wanted my readers to feel something of what I felt when I first read Neuromancer.”

One of my favourite writers, Scarlett Thomas, on Gibson’s Neuromancer, which I really need to read, given my love of Pattern Recognition, Spook Country and Zero History.

The Multinauts - Jennifer Juniper Stratford
I can’t believe no one’s sent this to me before today!
I discovered The Multinauts after watching the video for John Maus’s ‘Believer’, which is also directed by Jennifer Juniper Stratford.
“On the surface level, The Multinauts is influenced by Dr Who (specifically Doctors 4–6), Max Headroom 20 Minutes into the Future, and Star Trek the Next Generation. ”
- From an interview with Jennifer about The Multinauts.
From what I can tell she is the raddest and geekiest and I am fangirling out all over the place at the moment. Excuse me while I go and order a Multinauts badge.

“One of my key principles as a critic is that I am never wrong about what I like, but I may be wrong about what I dislike. We very often confuse not being able to connect with art for it not being good. It’s hard to predict when something you didn’t care about at some point will suddenly speak to you.”
