I rather enjoy Gibson's more recent works. I may be in the minority there, but I was quite glad to see the "punk" grow up a bit.
I like to think we've both "grown" since
Neuromancer: me as a reader and he as an author.
Which brings me back to the topic at hand... I really enjoyed William Gibson and Bruce Sterling's
The Difference Engine. I'd rank it right up there as one of my favorites. I'd love to see them hook up for something similar again.
