I had no idea William Gibson was so insightful and urbane. I suppose I might have read Necromancer without any appreciation of how early it came in the timeline of cyberpunk literature, but I was never able to get into it. After reading this interview, I feel pretty compelled to give Zero History a look.
Just wanted to extend that offer to everyone here as well. I too have the overload problem and am passionate about the value of Twitter, which is why I'm building something that will help. Happy to share & discuss further: http://slipstre.am/

Because it is set in the present, I wouldn't call it "cyberpunk," but it is thought provoking in many of the same ways as Neuromancer. The writing style is better developed and more coherent though less cutting edge(all as one would expect after more than twenty years). It's a solid read.
