Bobby Newmark would totally have watched the feed of this on his mother's simstim. Kudos. I'm liking the fact that you adhere to what seems to be the Cowboy Mortality set-point, and that a certain wintermute seems to have filtered in like the pea-soup fog o'doom.

Wonderful speculation on who Wilson was and what might have happened to him - love the way you describe the ice and the visual rush of jacking in. Gibson is my favorite author - you more than do his world justice. Great job!
