There’s a dog walker in our area who doesn’t pick up after their apparently very large dog does its business on our berm. So I laid a trap by repositioning the door bell

The back is pretty funny
*A debut novel set for brain-stun... streetwise SF, whose smart-tough density of character and circumstance make it one of the most unusual and involving narratives to be read in many an artificially induced blue moon' THE TIMES Case was burnt-out, useless, suicidal - his nervous system grievously maimed by a wartime Russian mycotoxin. The top Japanese experts in nerve-splicing and microbionics had taken his money and left him crippled. His days as a software cowboy seemed over. Then Case met a man who could cure him. In return, Case had to do a job. Had to. Because bonded to his artery walls were tiny sacs of the mycotoxin. Tiny sacs, slowly melting ... 'The glamour of Samuel Delany and the vertigo of Philip K. Dick, and better organization than either' TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT 'A totally new voice... an amazing, virtuoso performance. Kaleidoscopic, picaresque, flashy and decadent... totally modern •.. NEUROMANCER, in every sense, is state-of-the-art' WASHINGTON TIMES 'The future as nightmare... a brilliant debut' THE STANDARD ALSO BY WILLIAM GIBSON IN PAPERBACK FROM GRAFTON BOOKS BURNING CHROME COUNT ZERO
