Location: Southeastern Pennsylvania		After allowing myself to be sidetracked (by Peter Straub's novel Floating Dragon and by Fallout 4), I'm back on track with the Punk's Not Dead reading challenge. Earlier today I finished Count Zero by William Gibson. I enjoyed the book very much, a bit more than it's famous predecessor, Neuromancer. The story in Count Zero was easier to track. The writing was rich and textured and evocative. A good read with some poignant passages about the nature of art and what constitutes loss and yearning. Onward I go now into Mona Lisa Overdrive, the final book in the sprawl trilogy. After I read that and Burning Chrome after it, the William Gibson section of my challenge will be concluded and I'll be moving on to some other cyberpunk works.
