  Notes from lunch at a Thai restaurant somewhere in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida

As I was sliding my way into the booth, I noticed that the older gentleman in
the booth next to ours had an uncanny resemblance to William Gibson [1], a
writer well known for his cyberpunk novels _Neuromancer_ [2], _Count Zero_
[3] and _Mona Lisa Overdrive_ [4]. It was amazing to think that I might be in
the presense of the William Gibson, but I did a quick scan of the restaurant,
on the lookout for Neal Stephenson [5], cyberpunk author as well, known for
_Snow Crash_ [6], _The Diamond Age_ [7] and _Cryptonomicon_ [8]. It was too
much to hope for, and too terrible to contemplate the both of them being in
the same place [9].
