![]() ![]() In fact, Flynne has gotten a view into a possible London existing decades in the future and has seen an actual woman get murdered. Flynne, a young woman living in a poor, rural American county (probably Southern, though it’s never specified) in the near future, believes she’s beta testing a video game, witnessing the “death” of a virtual character in an urban high-rise. This time around, it’s particularly intriguing. (Although to be fair, isn’t that the plot of most thrillers?) What sets each book apart is the worldbuilding that surrounds that plot kernel. Most Gibson plots essentially concern a race for a particular piece of information-one side seeks to possess it, the other to suppress it. While placed firmly in the sci-fi genre of his earlier works, Gibson's latest retains the social commentary from his more recent novels ( Zero History, 2010, etc.). ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Is this actually a political reference, or am I reading too much into it? Years later, when I'd become somewhat more "spoiled" by life, I realised that it might be a political joke: when the political left wing and centre have disappeared, the right wing ends up being portrayed as the left wing. I read this book as a child and thought it was nothing more than an amusing pun - the "left" wing being the right wing because it was the only one left. It is a trick of the Princess Langwidere to prevent visitors from annoying her." "Because there used to be three wings, and two were torn down, so the one on the right is the only one left. "How can the left wing be at the right?" demanded Dorothy, who feared the Wheeler was fooling them. "Very well," agreed the prisoner, "it is around here at the right." "Now," said Tiktok to the captive Wheeler, "you must show us the way to the Left Wing." ![]() Please Knock at the Third Door in the Left Wing.

Sarah seemed like a genuinely nice person with a big heart. ![]() The relationship that develops between Beyah and her new Step-sister, Sarah, is so sweet.

That’s the version of my two weeks’ notice I should’ve sent to my boss, because the more professional version – the one where I said I was “grateful for all the opportunities,” and “honored by all the rewarding experiences” over the years? I wish his next executive assistant all the luck in the world (she’ll need it) and if my boss should need me to do anything over the next two weeks, kindly tell him that he can do it goddamn self… This was a VERY EASY decision to make, as the past two years have been utterly miserable. I am writing this letter to formally announce my resignation from Parker International (& the arrogant, condescending CEO) effective two weeks from today. ![]() |
