From "New World Notes"

"At the beginning of August, the man who gave "cyberspace" its name and its imaginative texture will visit the place that probably wouldn't exist, without him. As it happens, one of Second Life's very first regions is named in honor of William Gibson. Tyrell Corporation, one of SL's first groups, gave the place that title, then proceeded to build Nexus Prime, an ever-changing city with gleaming spires above, and mean, untamed warrens below, on top of it. An ideal tribute to the author's work, when you think about it, so I hope Gibson visits Gibson."

The appearance is slated for August 2. You'll need to be a Second Life member... www.secondlife.com; membership is free. To attend, from within Second Life join the SL group "Penguin Readers" or IM Jeremy Neumann.
