Did you ever read Zodiac? One of his earlier ones (before Snow Crash, I think), about an eco “terrorist” waging a private fight against a Union Carbide-ish chemical company. I think I like it as much as I do because I’m interested in the subject but it’s a good quick read
I thought for a minute when I came to this site that Neil Gaiman was Neal Kaytal, and…I sure had thoughts about Bebe Neuwirth being cool chatting him up.
