While Gibson's story is solid enough, I find too much of the oh-so-knowing voice, seeming to imply that we all should get every one of the many obscure cultural references. I'm glad I already knew what a Curta calculator was!

I'd also like to nominate one line as the silliest I have read in the last decade:

"...a shallow but mercifully uninhibited sleep, though with a certain sense of sound and fury walled off behind the neurological dryer lint of the melatonin."

I submit that "neurological dryer lint" qualifies this as a parody of itself.
