"I'm into effects that cause a confusion between clapping, crying and shutdown. I like it when I know it hits them harder later... and they talk about it and grab me years later to tell ME about it like I was not there. This is what this DVD is all about, striking them where they are most vulnerable.... the mind."

If Cory Doctorow, Bruce Sterling and Charles Stross know what's good for them, they'll check their residences for eavesdropping devices. Laser beams bouncing off their windowpanes, keyboard intercepts, video cameras in their shower stalls. Who might lurk behind such industrial/literary espionage? Walter Jon Williams, that's who. Oh, not that Williams really needs to steal ideas from these fellows. He's much too talented and innovative on his own merits for that, as a prior string of some two dozen outstanding books will attest. But Williams could be dipping into the lives of his peers just to mess with their heads. The likelihood of that scenario is based on how masterfully and outrageously Williams' latest novel, This Is Not a Game: A Novel (Orbit, $24.99), plays the five-minutes-into-the-future SF game in which Doctorow, Sterling and Stross rank so highly.
