Book Proposal[edit]

should the Original Proposal be added somewhere? Lynnae 16:15, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's a deadlink for me. Is it under copyright do you think? Skomorokh ^incite 16:52, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There was a slash too many in the URL. Here is the correct one. Goochelaar 16:25, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Genre[edit]

Science Fiction?? 71.56.114.89 12:38, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dunno, have you read it? Have the reviews said otherwise? Skomorokh ^incite 15:30, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not SF, nor was Pattern Recognition. Current reality, but remember technology's not evenly distributed! <g> —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.137.94.177 (talk) 01:27, August 27, 2007 (UTC)

HI guys. I just read it. It's not science fiction. More like a heist or a thriller. It uses some advanced technology but nothing any old 6th grade conspiracy stuff you couldn't just google. Thisuser 05:48, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speculative Fiction would be the genre, I think. --159.83.182.185 (talk) 17:30, 27 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Or "Nowpunk"? 71.202.115.32 (talk) 05:33, 28 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Axing the Character section[edit]

It was a cut-n-paste of the entire contents of this site, and per Wikipolicy was deleted immediately. Someone can redo it, but in their own words. Tarc 18:52, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Alternate titles" footnote[edit]

This seems extremely weird to me. What does it mean for something to be an "alternate title" for a published novel? The blog post used as a reference is clearly pretty jokey, there's no suggestion that these were other titles that Gibson was seriously considering or anything like that.Prezbo (talk) 01:50, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
