Today we sadly lost one of the giants of science fiction, and in my opinion the greatest science fiction author of the last 40 years Greg Bear. Greg passed away at the all too early age of 71. My condolences to his family and may he rest in peace somewhere along The Way. This is a short tribute, recorded live and straight from the heart. If you want to hear more about why I like his work so much, please check out my video on his ground-breaking 1985 novel EON. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DSZBn2CheA #gregbear #sciencefiction

In the latest of my series on my favourite classic science-fiction books, I tackle William Gibson's seminal novel Neuromancer. Largely responsible for popularising cyberpunk as a genre, it's a dense and frantic exposition of humanity's exploration of transcendent technology. And a heist.
