  • Ray Bradbury is a key figure in elevating science fiction to a literary form with his beautifully written stories.
  • Bradbury's speaking style is awkward and lacks the eloquence found in his writing.
  • William Gibson's spoken voice mirrors his complex written style, as seen in the documentary 'No Maps for These Territories'.
  • Gibson's reading of 'Neuromancer' is powerful and aligns closely with his written work, though the original audio tapes are out of print.
  • The author shares MP3 copies of Gibson's 'Neuromancer' reading to preserve it, but advocates for official reissues to support the artist.
  • 'Neuromancer' remains in print, and readers are encouraged to purchase it to support Gibson and other writers.
