Seveneves in particular gives me chills just thinking about -- so dark at points. Likewise, I think the Blue Ant books are Gibson's best work, though I have a strong attachment to Mona Lisa Overdrive just because of where I was in life when I first read it.

Nice to see love for the Blue Ant books. I enjoy everything Gibson has written, but Pattern Recognition is by far my favorite.

It's wonderful! He gets the timbre of early 2000s forum culture exactly right.
