The latest:

>> Several distinguished members of the pre2k crew, and I won't name any names that start with Guy or Bryan, have a fascination for Japan that doesn't just border obsession, but makes regular and deep incursions. I like dried squid as much as the next Dutchman (the sea is wild, the sea is silty, and the sea is never closed) -- but I just can't share the love for Hello Kitty, anime and assorted other Japanarama. But I can wholeheartedly share the love for William Gibson, pre2k prophet of the post2k world. He's written a piece for the Observer on his personal obsession with Japan.
