Una colección editada por Orson Scott Card, un autor de sobra conocido, en particular por su saga de Ender -de la cual esta bien leerse el primer y como mucho el segundo libro, después cae en picado-

La verdad es que de Gibson nunca he leído nada, pero ya eres el segundo que no me lo pone muy bien…
