It's also, funnily enough, from 2012. Someone should pass a law against non-unique titles!
But googling for plot summaries of the '80 novel, it's cyberpunk and pushes the web metaphor pretty far, perhaps far enough to have an Anansi character. That's probably it.
I was originally going to complain because Web of Angels was published in late 1992, but then I realized that's a reprint by a different publisher.
