Virtual Light - William Gibson
Encouraged by Neuromancer, I selected another William Gibson SciFi from Phil's shelf. More accessible than the first, but just as enjoyable, with similar David and Goliath story (this time about a snaffled pair of wrap-around shades that reveal more than Reactorlight Rapides TM do) giving another none-too-enticing glimpse of the Western world's future.
