I'm enjoying the synchrony of reading Wilson's Julian: A Christmas Story while waiting to buy a copy of Anderson's first Octavian Nothing book, and discovering a similarity of manner and tone. The unlooked-for resonance pleases me in a way that sought likeness does not (as, having read Anderson's Feed, I wanted some adult cyberpunk and thus turned to Gibson's Spook Country).
