Gibson, at least since he got old... LeGuin used to be good, too, until she hit menopause, then she became shrill and strident in her writing, going on about how bad men are...

Neuromancer was considered edgy. Unfortunately he is unable to write anything like that in "current year"... Pic Related

Yeah, he used to be cool, but with his success came...fragility.

He has gone way downhill as a writer. He could not write Neuromancer today. Pic related.

Yeah, he is pretty cringe these days, afraîd of the ramifications of his own work.

"Gibson’s forthcoming book, Agency, has a plot one would expect from a lesser author: the future is awful because Donald Trump was elected president. This might seem like a perplexing lack of creativity, but consider the intervening third of a century. Gibson was in the business of scrutinizing Frankensteinization when it was a distant flight of fancy. But becoming a Frankenstein monster of hormones and surgery is here and celebration is mandatory. Dialing down one’s own ability to notice things to the level of a Daily Kos commenter becomes a matter of survival. This new subject matter reflects the aesthetics of culture that snapped his leash: lifeless and brutal in its insipid repetition."
What did he mean by this?
