William Gibson
William Gibson writes the kind of books that I'd want to write if I was a novelist - he writes about the present and the future and his characters get better and better with each book. He has a
blog, and some time ago he stopped blogging, because the blogging was getting in the way of his 'real' writing. So I stopped looking for his new posts. However, he seems to have started up again. I recommend his blog - he gets hold of some very interesting tidbits.
