staring up at you from beneith a pool of still water

[Dave Aitel <dave () immunitysec com>]

I think one of the secrets of science fiction is that Gibson's books 
after Neuromancer got a lot better. Somewhere there in between being 
hugely famous, he learned how to be hugely famous and also how to write. 
Usually once a writer gets hugely famous they do things like Neal 
Stephenson's "Quicksilver" (basically unreadable). But Gibson's later 
books are astoundingly good. To the point where every few chapters you 
think "I'm going to write a program that does that" and you completely 
mean it.

Last night I forwent my airplane Gibson book in exchange for staying up 
way too late writing a local for some little thing installed on my 
laptop that I really should have left alone. Now it's 7:30 and I have to 
go teach a class on Windows exploitation , which is pretty easy. The 
hard part is teaching people to stay up all night hacking into things 
they really should leave alone.
