Title: More than you ever wanted to know about wristwatches
Product review: I desperately wanted to like William Gibson's All Tomorrow's Parties, but I just couldn't enjoy it even a little. Once upon a time, Gibson's tales of net-running were surreal glimpses into the fertile imagination of a master computer geek. With this book, we get a look into the imagination of a wristwatch fanatic.The book is loosely about the end of the world. Unfortunately, this world ends not with a bang but a fizzle of river water on burning bridges. At times, Gibson tries to add a bit of comic relief to lighten the tedium, but the jokes tend to flop like a half-dead trout.If you're looking for interesting technologically-based fiction, try something by Neal Stephenson.
