Forgot how good Islands is. Actually, haven't read it since my mirrorshades days many years back - forgot most of it.

Past Mike made plans to come home from the office today and be reasonably productive at home in various ways.

Silly Past Mike.

Present Mike is in a comfy chair with a copy of Sterling's _Islands in the Net_, a Tokyo metro receipt to use for a bookmark, and a monster-size 1:1 G&T.

whenever i start a new book i like to read the final sentence first. its just fun to keep it in the back of my mind as a puzzle piece. i started The Difference Engine recently and the last bit of text was extremely striking.
