"One of the most visionary, original, and quietly influential writers currently working" (The Boston Globe) returns with a brand-new novel.
In William Gibson's first novel since 2014's New York Times bestselling The Peripheral, a gifted "app-whisperer," hired to beta test a mysterious new product, finds her life endangered by her relationship with her surprisingly street-smart and combat-savvy "digital assistant."
High momentum pulpy / intellectual read that feels, like all the best Gibson, like a view into the cutting edge of now.
Its interesting to see gibson circle back on his hit - this is very similar to neuromancer, but more grounded, and somehow set last year, or a few years ago even.
There is a minor grandpa vibes developing too. I don't think gibsons politics are bad, they just feel more visibly centrist than they were in the past.
