Did this guy miss something?

I was reading the synopsis of William Gibson's "Spook Country" on iTunes.

Yes, I'm an audiobook junkie.

Anyhow, the synopsis mentions a girl who writes for a magazine that doesn't exist yet. And I thought to myself...does Gibson know just what kind of gold mine is held in a statement like that?

The idea--which may or may not be original--came to me of a reporter from the twenty-something-th century who works for a magazine. The magazine's content is the past, and so the reporter regularly travels into the past to cover stories.

There's a ton of material there.

If it hasn't been done already...
