“Writing novels is pretty solitary, and blogging is very social…” “I think it’s in its last couple of weeks. I do know from doing it that it’s not something I can do when I’m actually working. Somehow the ecology of writing novels wouldn’t be able to exist if I’m in daily contact. The watched pot never boils.” Wired.

Pattern Recognition was a brilliant distillation of the zeitgeist. I actually didn’t find the weblog that compelling.. So if it’s a shooting match between that and his next novel, you know where I stand.
