favorite author

Neal Stephenson has replaced William Gibson as my favorite author for the time being.
This corresponds the move of the life-mood-indicator from the 'poignant' to 'maybe-hackable' posish.
I have followed all the links on Wikipedia and have read through most of his Wired.com interviews, went back to the one about domination systems in reason.com.... currenty reading his short story 'Spew', and I definitely need to get my hands on the 'Hackers' short-story collection.
Spew is just fantastic, and the crunchy-chocolatey goodness just goes up each para after para.
Hope the ending's managed okay.
