Welcome to the third Wolf Podcast.

Today I’m talking with J David Osborne, the Founder of Broken River Books. Find him at his substack The Broken River Writers' Collective and on tiktok at @brbjdo. He’s also the author of a number of books, including the cyberpunk series Gods Fare No Better. One of my favorite writers and a long time friend.

We’re talking William Gibson’s Mona Lisa Overdrive, the final book in the Sprawl trilogy. It functions as a sequel to both Neuromancer and Count Zero, picking up characters from both and throwing them into a narrative together. We have a lot to say about this one, and especially the ways it fails to deliver. We also take this time to discuss the trilogy as a whole and Gibson’s impact on science fiction.

Music by Bart Larsen. Everything else done by me, I guess.
