Gibson's short stories are better than his novels I reckon.

There's more emotion and sadness and less action. There's a couple of real corkers in here.

Soviet astronauts in space so long they can never go home...

A virtual reality worker replays and replays the last few moments of a relationship...

A man is haunted by the ghosts of pulp fiction futures that never happened...

Empaths sit and wait for astronauts fired into the blackness of space to come back and try to stop them killing themselves...

Good stuff really. Very early eighties.

Cheers,

Mark
