Is Gibson a hack? When I read his Sprawl books, the only one I ever did like was Neuromancer, but not as much as everyone else seems to love it. Count Zero and Mona Lisa Overdrive had a couple of cool ideas, but they were really dull and went nowhere with their stories. He seems to do the science part of science fiction alright, but when it comes down to giving them a story, it just falls flat.
Is it because I'm a bit too late with his books, and they've really lost their "WOW, HE PREDICTED X BEFORE X??"-factor that every brainlet seems to praise him for?
