	I have read the reviews/spoilers on Neuromancer by William Gibson
and they sounded suspiciously like a short story I had read so I did some
research and turned up the following:

William Gibson wrote a short story called "Burning Chrome" in the July '82
issue of Omni Magazine (the one with the eye-ball and person doing a back
flip on the cover). It too featured a somewhat less than honest person
"jacking into cyberspace" for fun and profit (mostly the later!). There was
also a place called Chiba City where many people went in hopes of becoming
simstim (simulated stimulation) stars, but it was a minor aspect of the story.

	It was enjoyable and I have reread it many times. If this is anything
like Neuromancer, then I will look forward to getting a copy...

Beware the black ice!
