I've seen it in enough of his work to think he was highly influenced by it, or maybe just enamored of it. Michael Swanwick's writing is similar, and both men won a lot of prestigious awards back then, so it worked for them.

I came up with an idea for a short story involving people living in a tall building where the higher classes lived at teh top and the lower classes lived at the bottom. Thought it was quite an original idea, but I guess not! Sounds like an interesting concept ruined by trying to cram ideas not really appropriate to it.
