Ack! Curse my failing memory, and the absence of my annotated library! But
for fans of this kind of discourse (although with a Germanic flavor rather
than a Froggish one), there's a review by the brilliant if rather fixated
marxist critic Fredric Jameson of Bill Gibson's post-cyberpunk *Pattern
Recognition*, at:

Jameson was an early and influential commentator on postmodernism, and like
me he found Gibson's *Neuromancer* the very model of a postmodern major
genre text.
