Burning Chrome

Out of this short story collection I read The Gernsback Continuum, which I wish had been a novel in itself. I love the ambiguity of the ideal other world, you don't find out if the main character is crossing over to an alternate reality or if he's just hallucinating the whole thing. This story could easily be a full length novel, maybe where the main character gradually becomes more and more a part of the other world, although its already extremely successful as a short story. The idea that were living among the scraps of yesterday's tomorrow and yet we never appreciate it was very interesting. I loved this story, just wish it was longer.
