At the end of the month, let's have a conversation here about how the book was. This is all new. How: Buy the book or borrow it from a library.

With a quick google search I discovered the PDF.

William Gibson is still alive - see website. If you can, buy the book there to give him more money.

personally I prefer to use a digital, DRM free format, read it on whatever device I can and then find a way to donate to the Author. Thanks for the link to his website though, there are some good discussion notes on there as well.

[ArcAster]

Purchased on my Kindle around 10 days ago. Been busy with work but currently about 23% complete. Really liking it so far.

[Alex-Keyes]

Hey guys when do we want start our conversation? 2/28? 3/1?

[RichardLitt]

Whenever works. I'm not done yet, will be soon. :)

[ArcAster]

Are we going use Google Hangouts or something like Gitter for the discussion? IRC?

[RichardLitt]

Hey! Oh man, dropping the ball here. Gitter makes a lot of sense! Let's open one and move there. Should keep chatter out of this channel.

Awesome, full disclosure I'm finishing the book tonight. I'll jump on once I'm done to avoid spoilers.

[RichardLitt]

We've read (or mostly (or a tiny bit)) this. We discussed it on Gitter. Closing this. \o/
